Joe, very nice job. I did mine earlier this year to cut down on the reflection to the windshield. I helped.

+1. I love it! I did it to my M109 with a kit and loved that too. I think that would look great on a blacked out VV!

Thanks everybody for the compliments!!! It was surprisingly EASY once I saw the video that showed a heat gun (I usedthe wife's hair dryer just as good) loosing up the wrap...DOH!!

It is ALSO 3D (textured) so it has a true carbon fiber feel and look...

I did not buy it here http://www.stickercity.com/product.php?productid=21813&cat=2299&page=1 but it is the same EXACT stuff..

The place I bought it from (Carbon Fiber Gear) went from $24 for a 12"X48" to over $63 for the SAME EXACT THING a week later!!! B.S.

You got lucky . . . I bought mine from the exact same place. The higher price is the going rate, you my friend lucked into a very short time sale. I got the email AFTER I received mine. I wrapped my aluminum front wing thing on the faring. I also painted my chrome guage bezel black . . . really looks nice.

I'm wondering about covering the speaker / mirroe bezels. Maybe.

Nice job with the GPS mount.

Visioness, wish we could have met...the cop on the Dragon slowed us down a little bit

The fiber wrap is holding up quite well...No I did not use the 3M primer, just wiped it down with alcohol and applied the cabon fiber....
