Look at the fiberglass/carbon material. its 1/3 the price per yard, once it wets out with epoxy it looks exactly like twill weave real carbon fiber. Your roof is already black. I would scuff the clear coat with some 240 grit then pull the weather stripping away and mask off all the surrounding areas real good. mix up some epoxy and brush on a light layer over the clear, lay 2 -3 layers of the mat down, and carefully squeegee out the epoxy from under the mat, up through the material, wetting it out, add a little epoxy here and there to help. be carefull not to mess up the weave, it is easy to do and wont straighten out well at all. Let it all dry, then shoot it all with some autobody clear, block out and buff. for the interior bits, PM me, I can pop them into my vac forming contraption and make overlays like I explained above. they conform great to crash shapes and curves and look great… nobody will know plastic is behind them. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/realistic-carbon-fiber-vinyl/255946)._
