got creative with vinyl today

i decided against waiting for someone to come out with actual carbon fiber emblems, so i busted out some vinyl i had from awhile ago and dressed up the cobalt a little






it wasnt that hard to do, just used a xacto knife and a hair dryer

carbonbydesign.com has carbon fiber sheets. and their quality is A++++. i bought some for my dad to make a dashboard for his boat. just in case some of you people want some real carbon fiber. they make it in different thicknesses too.
