If I had a fake Porsche, I'd definitely get myself some fake carbon fibre.

Default Thanks....

If your advertising here you must be a sponsor who pays $ to keep this board up and running... Thank you

Looks like a neat product and can see where it will have its place.... is it simple adhesion applies or any heat to shrink to form? can it be re-used? Could see some cool applications for track use over head lights rather then blue tape etc...Thanks for letting us know this exist.

pay no attention to the jackass's that try and bash your product...

They ARE a site SPONSOR!

Check under the user ID, what does it say?

Are we turning this into another name calling thread again? Can I play?

You will need to use heat to apply it, but not to shrink it. The heat softens the material so that it can be stretched over compound curves.

I could see it being reused a limited number of times if it is not left on too long (maybe a few hours), but no guarantees. Once the adhesive has crosslinked to the surface, you will ruin the film removing it. It is designed to be installed and left on.

I think Mickfluff was saying yes, we are a site sponsor therefore we can post here. I took it as him defending us....maybe I am reading it wrong though. Either way, it's all good guys. We are open to all opinions good or bad.

I took it the same way...

Of course, all opinions, good or bad, get you a bump to the top!

Default ????????

this board is getting outa hand....

Too many people looking for a lynching... take another read people.

I was basically reminding people sponsors keep the lights on.... provide options for our cars, although may not be for everyone should not get replied on with RUDE responses.

Nice product and thanks for posting.

Open to opinions good and bad is right on... but rude and disrespectful is what this board has started to become by many on how they post their views....

tetzlafh and rollingart may need to take another read at my post... tx

+1 This board is getting out of control! Mob mentality. People don't read and/or comprehend what they are reading. Some posters even will put words in your mouth and hold you to their words

Not to hijack this thread, back to "regular scheduled programming"

Looks like 3M Di-Noc to me.

It is very hard to apply this material, need an experienced installer.

Depends on what you a applying it to. If it is heavily contoured, I agree.
