Default A carbon fiber alternative.

My roomate has an m3. Some guy on the forum's selling carbonfiber fabric (non vinyl). It's mimics real carbon fiber, just no resin clear coat. Well I have an Ap1 and the Metal housing around the shift knob started to scratch. Fixed though. Check it out.







My Radio cover.



The housing that got ****ed up from the previous owner's watch. This is after I wrapped it of course. This material is waterproof feels like snake skin. I highly recomend it.






It's sold by the yard. $35.00 shipped.

That looks sick. I always hated the stick on stuff because of how thick it was and it raised the pieces up so much. I bet this looks ganster in the car.
