[jamievt]

not really a fan of the carbon wrap but brother just bought this tonight for his car i find it hard to believe it really looks as good as they claim anybody on here used it?

I've not seen that before, it does look glossier than conventional carbon wrap (which is the main giveaway) but in some pics on there you can tell its fake

im not debating the fact it looks fake but just wondering if people have used this i mean in a way i imagine the gloss factor making it more tacky than the 3m stuff everyone uses

I think/hope the gloss makes it look less tacky.

will you post up finished pics as I'm very interested on how this turns out

ive edited the attached link as found a listing that has couple pics buyers have sent in and as i feared it looks nothing like theyve made it out to be haha

Well at vaguely £10 per metre for the larger sizes they sell I wouldn't bet my life on it being that great. But that's talking about wrapping your car in it. It would probably stay on for a week and the slightest bit of sunshine would make it fall off. But maybe for smaller bits of trim it could look alright.

Bottom line is you get what you pay for

Concerns me the way they have spelt material pmsl.

maybe diamonds and bullets spot light surrounds would look good in that

I have used this on my rear door cards.

Not too shiny and looks okay.

I have used this with mixed results. It is by no means as shiny as it shows on the car. I had a sheet of carbon and put it next to this and it probably is the best imitation I have seen.

However, it doesn't seem to wrap very well. It looked great when my mirrors were first wrapped but it is seeming to get worse by the day. I am not sure if this is down to the weather being baltic though. They were wrapped correctly, using the cleaning process and heat cured so shouldnt have gone bad...... I have some more so am going to see how re-doing them will fair.
