New CF alternative
I had ordered some of this and then a member began a post in the C63 section. It seems to be an alternative to real CF and 3M Di-Noc (which has a somewhat matte finish). It is also classified as an exterior film where as Di-Noc is an interior/architectural film and has a gloss finish.
Product info: 3M Scotchprint 1080 Carbon Fiber Vinyl Flex Wrap 1080-CF12
I'll keep everyone posted on my many projects to come
Thanks to member obsidian05e55 for the above photo. The phone is REAL carbon fiber.

you are right, thats what I was looking for. Stickercity has a shiny one similar to yours but it is not as thick an durable. I was looking for durability not shiny material. I looked at both and decided on the stronger and less shinier CF.

The product I ordered (3M Scotchprint 1080) is the same thickness and is extremely durable. It is made by the same company as the Di-Noc.
Main difference is:
3M Di-Noc (matte)- an interior/architectural film that can be used for exterior application
3M Scotchprint 1080 (glossy)- designed to be used as a vehicle wrap so it is extremely durable
There are various films on the market produced by different manufacturers. My past experiences show 3M IS THE BEST.

I dont think it is hard at all. You do need another person to help and three people will be even better. The cutting may be a little tricky but I study architecture so Im an expert at cutting lol. I will do mine in about two weeks from now and let you know

Stickercity.com sells both films made by 3M along with less expensive, "generic" brands.
The product I ordered (3M Scotchprint 1080) is the same thickness and is extremely durable. It is made by the same company as the Di-Noc.
Main difference is:
3M Di-Noc (matte)- an interior/architectural film that can be used for exterior application
