some fun with CF wrap

Just decided to do this and see how it would come out. I like it enough to keep it, any thoughts?

I just bought a 20'' by 48'' roll of carbon stylez at pep boys for 20 bucks, its 3d so it has a nice raised feel to it. idk if i would have done it if i had wood grain but i didnt so i didnt mind covering it up. i recommend atleast trying tho, you can always rip it off. all together id say it took me 3 hours. i also did all the switch plates on the doors

Looks like you did a pretty good job on the wrap. 3hrs is pretty fast for a first timer. Great job OP.

Looks really good. Well done! I didn't know Auto Zone carried high quality carbon fiber wrap. How does this stuff compare to 3M products? Does it leave a gummy residue if you decide to go back to stock?
