carbon fiber film

Has anyone used the carbon fiber vinyl film on thier engine cover? If so how was it conforming to the different curves?

Reliable source?

Probably an awful idea with the heat inside of the engine bay.

I'd only use 3M Di-Noc. Check my threads. I have pics of my CF grille/plate trim/interior. I'm still nervous about the grille and heat but it's held up great for the past few months.

Jess, I have tried the Carbon Fiber vinyl film-it didn't work well at all. But...I did not use the Di-Noc, so I can't speak to that product. I tried to to the engine piece in front of the radiator. I worked on that piece for over an hour and couldn't get it to look good. I did use the CF film on part of the air filter (under the hood) and it seems to be holding up well.

I've got to think the Di-Noc stuff would work better. It seems to be the product of choice that Jaime uses.
