Best Carbon Vinyl Wrap

[thezman]

Picked up a scuff on my front license plate delete panel and want to cover it with a carbon vinyl wrap. Anyone have experience doing this that can recommend which wrap to use? The ones that look most realistic on the web are 3D and SC wrap.

Check with Harrison. He has used some 3M vinyl carbon fiber wrap.

Mngolfer is right. 3M brands are the best I have seen. Ease of insallation is better too. I wouldn't suggest using it on HIGHLY visible places. A grill section, or rocker panel Yes, but a hood or roof...no.

thanks....yes this would be only on the license plate delete panel. Have you seen 3D compared to SC, both are 3M both look good in pics but want to get something that have to most realistic look.

I wouldn't suggest using it on HIGHLY visible places.

Why? I think I know, but I want to hear your take on it.

[harrison]

Because it is FAUX and appears faux really guickly, to our trained eyes. Kapish??

From the little bit I have seen, CF vinyl looks very good on large smooth surfaces. The obvious faux characteristics seem to reveal themselves at the sharp corner ends where it needs to fold.
