About $110 for the front and $150 for the side skirts. I've got approximately $500 in parts and material

I have seen don'tremembername carbon wrap - and it looked poor.

This is great as being very glossy - still cannot believe there is no real carbon on the first picture.

I guess there is no reason to think it wouldn't look great on interior pieces, right?

I'm happy with the way it turned out. I couldn't justify the really CF due to the rocks and crap on the roads in AZ.

What parts are you running? Who made the lip and sides? Any fitment issues with them? For $500 or so, that seems like a hell of a deal.

Got the parts from CIANCI USA. The parts need just a little smoothing/finishing out but no issues. I did a little extra shopping around, so that when one of the pieces gets dinged, no worries.

Looks OK at best, as long as you don't have any real carbon fiber to compare it to. I've done some pieces in my Zr1 but they look cheap compared to my steering wheel which is real. Hydrocarbon actually looks better.

That's why you put the vinyl on the outside and the real stuff on the inside.

Looks great and the wrap will make it durable. I could not bring myself to spend the money on the real stuff when I have seen how it looks after several thousand miles, but this is definately a route I will follow.
