Default Incredibly realistic looking carbon fiber vinyl now available at PFYC.com

Introducing our new realistic looking Carbon Fiber Film: now available at PFYC.com

This new Carbon Fiber Film is a 5 mil thick self-adhesive embossed vinyl that looks like real carbon fiber when installed. You can put it anywhere on the outside or inside of your vehicle.

This vinyl carbon fiber film provides the look of carbon fiber at a fraction of the cost, making it an excellent styling option for customs, show cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, jet skis or ATVs. You can easily heat it to contour over any shape, and it is backed by a 5-year warranty. This makes it an excellent low-cost styling accent for spoilers, interior panels, carbon fiber graphics and stripes, or even entire body panels while adding a nice layer of protection at the same time.

Whether you want to alter your car‘s appearance or refinish worn or damaged interior panels, this carbon fiber film provides a stylish solution. This film can be installed wet or dry on smooth or slightly textured surfaces. Click here to see a technical data sheet.

CAN I GET A SAMPLE? If you want to order a small 6" x 6" sample before you decide to order a larger sheet, you can do so on the ordering page. We charge $1 for this sample to cover postage and the material (there's no profit here).

Click here to place your order:

Considering that the ZR1 roof is a whopping 8# lighter than the regular Z06 roof, if I was inclined to copy the look, I would much rather buy your product than bother modifying the vehicle and adding the ZR1 roof panel (I am sure at a much higher, vehicle warranty-voiding expense).

Good product (if it is as advertised, which I have no reason to think it wouldn't be).

I already have a zillion ideas of how to use this stuff on my own cars...it looks great. Get a sample before you decide and post your honest feedback here. We'd love to hear your input.

How does this vinyl compare to the 3M DI-NOC vinyl?

Unlike 3M, this does not require primer for it to adhere and can be installed wet or dry. The pattern is also slightly smaller, making it look more authentic.

Did I read your option wrong. Doesn't it say for a 6"X6" sample its $1 plus. $22.95 or something like that?

You didn't read it wrong - it's just confusing the way the software does it.

The price of a linear foot is $23.99, so to get the sample price to $1, I have to subtract $22.99. It should be in double parentheses - one set to indicate a price change, and one to indicate a negative (subtraction) from the main product price.

Select the sample and you'll see the price shown on the page change to $1.00.

Whew....I was worried for a second. Lol! Without the wet install kit does it go on regularly or with the aid of a heat gun?

Click the icon on the right side that says "Installation Instructions" to read more about that. It probably explains better than I could.

OK...I tried to order a sample, but your site doesnt seem to want me to have one. When I select the sample and hit "add to cart", the site just takes me to a page telling me to "Please complete the required options below in red" and highlights the "selection" drop down in red. Tried at work and again at home...same thing...what am I missing?

You're missing nothing. I'm the one who's missing some brain cells. I added the installation kit option and set one of the settings wrong. It's fixed, and I'm sorry for the hassle.

I'm intrigued by the photo of the rear view mirror... I'd love to see a video of how to do that without any wrinkles. I think a video of doing a console would be good since so many people like to customize it.
