    Vinyl overlay for side blades

    Trying to see if there is any interest for a vinyl wrap for the side blades. They would be a carbon fiber wrap that you can apply to your stock non carbon fiber blades for much cheaper than replacing them with real carbon fiber. Also I would be able to come up with a clear overlay for the blades, I know many have had problems with them chipping on the front edge. Let me know if there is any interest.

    isn't this something just about any vinyl wrap company could do as cf effect vinyl is readily available and used by them on a regular basis?

    I was thinking more of a pre-cut one that anyone could apply.

    I have thoroughly investigated the different vinyls.The best c.f. vinyl would not be good enough anywhere but on the bottom of the car, JMO. the reason why real c.f. is so expensive...the perfect surface of finished product. You cannot fool anyone with the FAUX stuff.
