they claim the matte finish doesnt scratch :-)

 

nice i think im gonna order this instead or buying a CF dash kit.

 

+1 i was thinking about that earlier today at school

 

I bought some of this for a previous car but found it somewhat hard to work with. I am thinking it may have been thicker b.c it wasn't very flexible. Just be careful when you cut it, the tiny CF threads hurt when they stab your skin like splinters lol

 

You most likely were working with a thicker layer. It says on their site that the 0.025" film is new. That is only .635mm, the same thickness of bats tail lights overlays. Seems like it wouldnt be too hard to work with. I will let you know when I try it.
And yes about the edges. It says on their site to make sure you sand all the edges after you cut it.

 

I went ahead and ordered the .025" x 6" x 18" in gloss (PS it is 10% off if you get matte and 15% cheaper for just the cf with no laminate at all). With shipping it came out to only 51.39. It will be here in a week. It is enough to cover both door pulls and handles.

FYI Approx measurments
Door Pull 12"x2" (each)
Door Lock 4.5"x2" (each)
Window Switch Panel 8.5"x3" (each)
Upper Consol 12"x12"
Lower Consol 12"x14"
Feel free to correct or give more accurate measurements.

 

this sounds like a great substitute for true cf interior pieces. post up and let us know how easy it is to work with and some pics!

 

the vaneer isnt going to hold up the rep said if it sees any UV light for constant periods of time the finsh will be ruined so i guess i wont be able to have a "real" Carbon fiber roof overlay, or a interior console.

 

but the sun really doesnt hit the console, or the handles....

 

here in texas on an average day you can barley touch you shift **** in the metal because the sun was beating on it through the windshield the handles may be fine but im not to sure about the center.

 

well just get the thin laminant then....looks the same,and you can get very thin pieces!

 

Yeah I am pretty sure mine was a bit thicker, this was probably 4 years ago now. It was fun, but wearing gloves is a good idea

 

Like I said once before. If you want to use it on the roof, trunk, spoiler, ect. You can always use 3M (or other) clear UV protectant film on top. On their site, 3M claims it blocks out 99.90% of UV light.
I called DragonPlate up, they can cut a piece exactly to fit the roof if someone can get the measurements. Estimating they said it would be about 350. The 3M UV film would be 120 more if you dont want permant. They suggest using a paint shop to do a layer of clear coat so it will not yellow and last just as long as your paint. They have had customers do it before and looks great.
In all probably around 500 to do a CF roof.

 

not bad at all compared to the bmws $5000 roof lmao.

 

so is the laminant flexable at all, if thats uv protected that should work fine for the center console since its a flat surface!
