Carbon fiber wrap opinions

It is a wrap,fake carbon fiber. If it looks good to you,that's all that counts. IMO,go with the real thing. Most owners incl myself have installed ZCF covers stuff. ZCF

ZCF uses real CF.
However,they only do flat or slightly curved parts like B=-pillars and inside door barrel covers.

Just my opinion,wraps look like wraps--fake stuff

I don't care for the body matched paint on the mirrors and I wanted to do something with the door handles. I purchased the evo r covers and they look ok but they are still just covers (fake stuff). The wrapped door handles and mirrors came out really nice but I'll probably end up wrapping them in black since everything else on my car is getting blacked out.

They are not fake, they are real CF.

It's a real carbon fiber cover, not a carbon fiber part, that's what I should have said. Essentially doing the same thing as wrap, trying to make a non carbon fiber part look like a real carbon fiber part.

Yep . Mirrors look nice. When it starts to bubble & peel from the sun, get rid of it or redo it. Seen a few people leave it on way too long & it looks like

I'll probably end up painting the mirrors and door handles black. I'll be painting the "Z" and outer ring of my side marker lights tomorrow. All wrap will eventually be coming off. Just kind of an experiment.
