Default carbon fiber vinyl

has anybody used this stuff? is it worth the money?

if so how does it look in person, i was thinking about wrapping my roof in this stuff, then covering it with a clear coat of paint?

opinions?

lol thats what i was thinkin too. thought i'd get some more input.

i think the furthest to go with that stuff would be interior. i've seen pictures of a few volkswagens with their hoods wrapped in this stuff so i figured i'd ask opinions.

i really want to do something with my roof, but i have a black car...

Are you askin about that 3M stuff ECS sells? I've no experience with the CF-look, but I have used the textured black in my car and the stuff is really cool. If you hit it with a hair dryer its very easy to work with, thick enough that it won't tear easily but thin enough that you can make clean corners when wrapping stuff in it. Might be worth buying a small piece just to play with?
