Hey everyone.

I got some carbon fiber Vinyl and decided to put it on my bonnet. It gives the car a unique look and because its carbon fiber it makes the car lighter.

This is just one method.

Soapy water is recommended. I got the stuff off ebay and it was only $79.

It took about an hour. Check it out.

That's what I was hoping!

OP - How durable is this stuff as far as stonechips etc over time?

Its very durable. You can get a clearcoat to protect your paintwork from stone chips

I wonder if you could do it to interior like the dash facia or would melt when you heat it to mould it

Diffrent, Does it come off easy over time? i know the paint would be a diffrent coullor in time due to no sun dammage to..

Also

Question to the vidio, how does "lite carbon-fiber" on the the front end help do a skid in a rwd? :hmmm:
