Carbon Fiber Look 3M Type S Shift Knob

Took the Type S Shift knob and overlayed the 3M Carbon Fiber look vinyl. This is by far the close you can get from being the real CF.

Hah... yeah the stuff is insanely priced. 2/3 of the cost I was quoted was apparently material costs. At that price though I'd rather just get my roof painted.

It might not be real Carbon Fiber, but it sure looks excellent. Much better than the stuff I originally purchased (and couldn't do anything with).

I would do it. It's very easily to apply and re apply.

Looks really good for faux CF.
Just saw some pics of it installed on a M5's roof.

Nevermind. Found the measurement after searching through a lot of threads.

I got the 48x72 (4x6) roll since i measured our roofs to be basically 4x5.


BUT
I found it states this:

60"x48"

20 sq/ft
Ideas for things to wrap:

Starting at about this size, you can start to be able to cover the roof of a vehicle. Make sure to measure before buying.
$175 Buy Now $8.75 sq/ft
72"x48"

24 sq/ft
As big as a man:

At this size, the height of the 3M™ DI-NOC™
vinyl you are ordering is as tall as a 6-foot person.
$205 Buy Now $8.55 sq/ft
