I have to see this in person...the original Ebay post doesn't look that different than mine. They should've called it 6D to differentiate from the 5D stuff! I think some of the stock photos they have of the interiors are real CF...but I don't know. Can you take a close up pic of your sheet?

you sure can it would look great I'm already one step ahead of you because I was thinking of going to this style on my car but don't want to spend $750 plus for a hood so this is a cheap alternative would probably cost you less than 100 bucks for enough material and looks identical to carbon fiber i checked it out I don't know if I want to go the style on my car but if I do anything I will do my roof first ...it will work and to answer your other question no it doesn't leave any sticky residue

thanks!

I already ordered this wrap so I can do my interior and see how good the quality is . If the quality is good im going to wrap my hood. I was thinking of wrapping my roof too but I think gloss black will look better since my car is white. I post pictures up if I decide to wrap my hood
