here are 2 most useful threads i found. and they are still by no means useful. real carbon fiber is hard to come by for our cars.

I've seen a video of a couple guys using di-noc on a civic hood I think and they were laying it on pretty easily. I think if you're patient and have someone help you out it couldn't be too hard. It will look great R2D matched with your trim and what not. I think SSM would look solid with CF hood, roof, and trunk. I still prefer the painted look.

i am actually speaking with a company right now that does high gloss CF wrap thats just as durable and easy to install as Di-Noc. their salesman sent me this picture.



the company is called MetroRestyling. This is their M500 wrap with a special high gloss clear film. im still waiting to hear back on a quote for a 60" x 48" piece for my hood.
