Saw this stuff on the sight for the tail light film. Anybody seen it or used it.
I thoiught this could be a cheap fix for the chipped hood till I can save enough for the bajaturbo one.

I've seen some of the carbon fibre vinyl and it just doesn't look right. True carbon fiber has a dimensionality to it I can't imagine any vinyl could touch.
For the same price you could get a bug guard from the dealer. It installs easily and can look good. You could buy it, have someone hold it up to the car, and if you don't like it, return it. No returning this stuff. Just a thought.

I don't know about this specific brand, I was commenting more on other vinyl treatments I have seen. Maybe you can check out a graphics shop and see what their CF vinyl actually looks like.

The hood with this stuff looks pretty good.

Now I know their are people on here that would give me all matter of crap for doing something like this, but it would only be temporary.
I am in the saving process now for a baja hood that would be painted to match. I am leaning towards touch up paint for my hood and save more money. This was just a thought. The interstate driving every day has really done a number on my hood and bumper. Rock blocker is a define must once I get them repainted.

Personally... If you are saving up money to buy a Baja hood, then I would just use some touch up and put the extra you would have spent on the CF Vinyl towards the Baja hood. :wink:

That sounds like something I would say to somebody posing this and is what I have been telling myself in the back of my mind all along. Maybe I should listen.

I wouldn't even bother with touch up paint - just keep driving it and buy th Baja one. Why waste time and money on something you're just going to replace anyway?

:sad3: I hate to say it, but that's the sheer definition of "rice" in my personal opinion. I can't believe we've stooped this low.
