C230 sport coupe
Carbon Fiber sticky - waterproof

has anyone come across or try such a product?
I want to cover my coupe's exterior window pillars with carbon fiber sticky (peel and stick) or some sort of hard plastic material with CF texture on to make it look more sporty.
it must be waterproof, is there such a thing in the market?

Vinyl is waterproof , half of my grill its been done in vinyl , much easier than paint and looks better. Hope that helps.

my grill and door pillars are vinyled and they are waterproof. Only thing i dont like about it is it gradually changes colors from dark gray to brown when you park your car under the sun. Ive had mine on for 5 months now and there is already a slight change in color.

You can try this. It will fade after a while though.

You dont have to remove the door pillar. just overlay it with the vinyl and trim the edges using an exacto knife.
