it wouldnt be worth the hassle. im sure it will stick, but it would take a very very long time too do and the end result wouldnt be half as good as paint.

my dash trim is covered in that stuff.. it actually doesnt look bad! i think it just gives like a subtle coolness to it.. but it's hella hard to get right. it's tricky to not have to cut or fold the stickers on edges. but hey give it a try, its cheap on ebay lol :freak:

Sam...do you have pics of those on your cardomain page? I saw that somewhere but can't place where I saw it. If so...was it hard? I would really love to finish the trim inside my ride with cf (bezel, center console, vents) I think it would look subtle yet at the same time would work with my cf altezzas and hood. :2thumbsup:

you're right that it takes a LONG time to do and get right... and i only did it cuz i had no idea about how to use real carbon fiber. but now i'm starting to experiment with it, so i might turn these into the real deal :D lol but thanks for the comment, i also went crazy with this sticker stuff and covered my phone, and other stuff haha

Yup...it was your page. That looks awesome, good job. That's exactally what I wanna do to mine, It doesn't look they way I expected a cf sticker to look, it's so smooth and clean. Again, great job.
