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

How difficult were the window switch trims to remove? Do they just lift out (clips) or does the door panel need to come off?

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
