Review on πŸ”³ Premium Carbon Fiber Vinyl Wrap - VVIVID High Gloss Jet Black Realistic 3-Layer 3D Carbon Fiber Look (1ft x 5ft) by Tommy Russo

. because it had a glossy finish that looks more like real carbon fiber than any other vinyl I've seen.

I did a lot of research before deciding to buy Vivid brand vinyl and seriously considered wrapping these parts in real carbon fiber but figured it would be more work than I did was willing to do but I did it t. I don't want vinyl that looks cheap, so I chose it because it had a glossy finish that looked more like real carbon fiber than any other vinyl I saw during my research. I have to say I wasn't thrilled when I opened the package but after a few days I decided to just super quick glue it to the steering wheel spokes (where I was going to mount it first) and see how it looks the part and not just on a roll and i thought that would give me a better idea of what this vinyl would look like and i was pleasantly surprised when i had it installed it looked really good and looked really good as the original and it certainly looked better than the factory paintwork which was starting to wear off a bit. Like I said, I wasn't impressed when I first opened the package and could see what the other reviewer meant when he said "it looks like it's just black" because I was thinking and thinking the same thing that this doesn't show up as "carbon fiber" just black but I have it installed I think it looks as good as it gets because it's vinyl and the cost compares so well to real carbon fiber parts like nothing are. I also saw one reviewer say it's very thick and difficult to install, but I've never done this before and I've just used a heat gun (a hair dryer works too) and it lays on easily enough. I disassembled the double spoke covers to make it easier for me to get nice clean edges. So keep that in mind if you're thinking of trying your hand at installing this vinyl. I will see how it performs in a month or two and if there is a problem I will update my review but as it stands I am very satisfied and will say I received exactly what is pictured , although I could see someone thinking differently the first time you open the roll, but I would suggest setting it to the part you want to cover and then deciding whether or not you like this vinyl. I was a bit confused after reading the reviews before buying this stuff because there is a whole range of buyers ranging from raving to completely unsatisfied with it so I will say I am a very picky person and it's me It's not easy to be satisfied, so keep that in mind. mind too.
