A salesman for them came by our shop and dropped off some samples.

It's all on 3M tape, looks pretty good, and is fairly flexible. I've yet to apply it to anything, so I can't comment on anything besides what's been said.

We have used this quite a bit. It is very nice. It is pretty pliable and can be molded around some complex objects. See the picture below the senko style sticker is actually cut from a carbon sheet. (though it is kinda hard to tell from this picture). I wil look for some more pictures of applications we have done

Both of these pictures from senkostyle.com are from a drag talon we built as well

Its some pretty neat stuff. You can heat it and stretch it out to fit and "wrap". I was impressed to find out its actual sheets of carbon fiber. It should make giving your interior pieces that CF look very easy.

Too bad they don't have larger sheets. They could make a killing selling roof kits.

What about DecalFx? I have not heard much about them either, but I heard about them before Senko. They say it come in 24 x Any Length. So I guess there are just two options there other than the ultra expensive from Fibreglast!
