3m dry carbon DINOC

has anybody on here ever tried this on?i just want to hear some feedbacks because im considering on buying this.its made by 3m.im planning on slappin them on the roof of the evo since im just goin for looks and theres really no point on getting a carbon fiber roof for a IXMR since its already light.plus i love that "dry" carbon look,especially on a wicked white.

any input will be greatly appreciated.

navy, yes sir. im goin back to school when i get back early august.and work on a pile of "gifts" for myself on my parents house in SF.on the last 2 pics, its a BMW e39 interior.he used the overlay to relplicate an M3.looks pretty badass. never was a fan of carbon fiber but the "dry" carbon really looks good,considering it kinda looks low profile VS the gloss finish carbon fiber.

I wouldn't mind using this to cover up the paint on my wing. Please post up the link when you find it.

I think it looks pretty hawt. The cutting up and measure it up to whatever your putting it on is going to be a little tough though.

based on the video looks like the application is pretty straight forward.i still suggest taking them to a professional graphics shop/vehicle wraps/clear bra.or even a tint shop since i know the price for these isnt goin to be cheap.

they even used it on door handles..soo it depends on where u take it to get it done.

you have to watch out vinyl on ebay. I bought 5ft about year ago and thought it looks just like CF but one I got was crap that dont even look like CF.
