From my build ..
The carbon fiber look is put on through a process called Hydrographics . it's a painting process . I've done almost 90% of my trim with it .

Here's mine.
Not real RADICAL but there's not a single part that hasn't been removed/cleaned/repainted or polished on her.
Most of it no one even notices.....BUT
I know
Cheers and HAPPY Australia Day,
Gavin.
