CF or black vinyl?

Hey guys, looking to do a vinyl hood and trunk on my 07 Cashmere Gold LS. I havent decided yet how im going to do the hood whether it will be a whole wrap or just do a strip in the center that follows the lines of the grille. Im also going to do the trunk.


Im just curious as to what you guys think looks better, matte black or Carbon Fiber vinyl? The car is in my sig, rims are plastidipped matte black, tinted tails and windows.


And anyone thats done vinyl, could you help me figure out the best size to order for each and cheapest place to do so? thanks



Bobby

i hope, I pretty much think its the only other cheap thing i can do to the exterior to make it look decent, in my eyes anyways, my dad always said my car look like ****....he old.

Anyways, im probably going to do carbon fiber, either whole hood or just that middle section, the trunk and possibly the roof if i do the roof rack.

If you run your car on the track like me, 50 Pounds is a lot. It could mean winning or losing.

I have my interior wrapped with 3m carbon fiber. It is really easy to apply (heat gun is necessary) Id say try that.
