um..i dont think so...I just bought the material last week and Ive been in the Car industry for over 10+ years..i know what CF weave and dry carbon looks like.

Sleeper..naw..it looks goods man, keep it on the car. That's what I'm going to do. Looks a lot better then the stock look imo. If you peel it, even with goo gone it will discolor the color of the trim pieces...lol trust me i did it a couple of times. Take care

Oh no..... Oh well. It looks like I better keep it in good condition then. I was hoping you wouldn't say that about goo gone. Actually I realized this when I had a bit of excess adhesive and then applied just a bit of goo gone onto a Q-tip. The Q-tip turned a bit black because it took off a bit of the paint from the plastic trim.

GL with your interior project!

Carbon something.... I don't think it's vinyl though. I don't even know for sure.

Well i have no experiance with strechy pants or carbon .
So i am not sure if the stuff you have can work with a 2 stage epoxy.
Check with the store where you bought it to find out otherwise it may just melt the paint as it warms up as it cures.

Good luck , either way it looks nice and real CF properties are nto needed for inside door panels. Also long as it looks proper like yours it works.

Thanks for the kind words and reassurance. I promise I won't lie and tell people it's real CF. I don't think I'm going to put epoxy resin over it as there may not be a need. I know this would be best for carbon fiber... but carbon fabric? Maybe not.... I'll update everyone with how it holds up in the long run.

I still say find out the best way to know how to protect it is from the store who sold it to you.
More than likely it is to be used like normal by being coated with some type of protection.

I'm thinking something not as heavy duty as epoxy resin. Maybe something like a specialized clearcoat? I will definitely need to check with the seller for extra measures to ensure durability.

Hey Sleeper, have you heard anything yet about some kind of clearcoat to apply over the fabric? I am thinking if I should do this to my Sportx....I am on a tight budget and this DIY mod looks legit from your pictures. Thanks for posting!
