Real CF is too common. Wanted something a bit different and being able to actually feel the texture of the weave is pretty cool. Would only have been an extra couple hundred to get the resin and clear for the more typical look.

Much better with the texture. Shiny CF would've looked really cheap!
But I don't like CF/ALU on the inside that's why I have that grey wooden stuff...

Sadly, Canadian cars are guilty by association as well...

I wouldn't have guessed it was fabric. Maybe a clearcoat will make it more durable and more carbonfiber-like.
Great work!

Great work!
Any more extra material like clear and resin and you lose that texture which was the main reason I went with this over regular wet carbon wrap.

you can feel the individual thread pattern which is what adds to the sexiness of it.

No, that's not Kurt's shift knob. It was bought new. I didn't believe he has a Brabus knob.

Hey AZN, after having put on carbon fiber fabric, did the fabric ever peel or start to crack?

No pealing or cracking. It breathes easily so I don't expect it to crack or dry out.
