Fake carbon fiber stickers. Gotta love some corvette owners.

Too much fake carbon fiber! Maybe one or two areas then it might have been better imo. Borderline cheesy but much better than the embarrassing cheesy things people used to to to the C6 & C7 with fake chrome bezels and so on.

I am typically in the less is more crowd and not a huge fan of CF everywhere. That said I don’t think it looks that bad... given that there is no aftermarket as of yet for CF I think this is an ok (temporary) substitute

IMO, wrapping something in fake carbon fiber that could have came in Real Carbon, (ie: Mirrors, roof, sideskirts, front aero, wing) is a big no-no and super tacky. Just means you cheaped out basically. If you are wrapping a subtle accent piece that isnt available at all in Carbon, (Like the side scoop lip for now) I am more forgiving.
Overall, not a fan of all this fake carbon wrap, just looks like the owner used a Pep Boys gift card on his C8 to me. I'm tolerant to some of it, but not this much.

Jeez guys, it’s not “fake” carbon. It is simply a wrap for accent pieces. The wrap design just resembles patterns of that of carbon but his intent isn’t to make it seem like it’s carbon, but rather break up the pattern of the car with some nice accent wraps. I think it looks gorgeous! I guess some people weren’t raised with the “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all”.

Hmm?
I like the cove treatment. Pretty tasty. Another guy wrapped his black car scoop with black satin. This wrap idea gets my vote. Nice to see those willing to push the boundary. Well done.
