3D CF/Vinyl weave

Bought some of this to try out and see if I liked how it looks.

Is it glossy or a matte type finish?

Re: 3D CF/Vinyl weave

It has a glossy finish to it. The pictures don't do it justice, it looks even better in person. I used a heat gun to get it to stretch around corners. I even tried it on a set of manual mirrors and managed to get it to conform to there shape with more heat and alot of stretching.

I stumbled upon them on Ebay. Bought a 12"X50" for under $18 just to try it out.

Re: 3D CF/Vinyl weave

Awesome job. This givens it a better or shall I say a more updated look. Good job on getting it to flow. And the price was right as well. Keep up the good work. Looking good.

Looks decent from what I can see and much cheaper then the $14,000 my interior cost for the real thing.
