Anybody heard of this?

Okay a friend of mine came over today with this stuff today click here (http://www.senko.com/automotive/feature_auto/magical.html). It is a (REAL) carbon fiber wrap. He wanted to know if I would be willing to wrap his interior trim pieces with it. It very flexible like raw carbon fiber mat but has an adhesive on the back of it. It's High quality stuff and he's gonna order a bunch of it for me to use on his car and whatever is left is mine to use. So would it be rice for me to cover my dash and some door panels peices with it? I'll get pics of it after i do his probably next weekend. to show you what his looks like.

I found a supplier this morning. 4ft wide rolls 20 feet long for about $180

Basically it sounds like actual carbon fiber weave embedded in a flexible clear polyester or vinyl, instead of in epoxy like the rigid stuff.

A word of warning -- this stuff might yellow fairly quickly, because the more flexible clear polymer materials oxidize more quickly than UV and oxygen stabilized epoxy. I'd leave a piece of this outside in a sunny spot exposed to the elements to simulate exterior use, and another in a sealed glass bottle (upside down to let the sun in) outside to simulate the indoor heat of a car.

this has been advertised in a few magazines.. might not be the same company since i can't click the link..

but yes. i've seen and heard of it.

there is similar stuff on Ebay.

[Elantra87]

[soullesselantra]

lol...if this stuff is real CF i might have to get some, re-cover my del Sol's CF hood and epoxy it myself...LOL [/ricer]

[theWorst]

REAL carbon fiber.

not this sticker sheets at pepboys...

if the pepboys stuff was real .. it would be a hell of a lot more expensive.
