yah, but at the end if it's done nicely im sure it'll look fine.

i think of CF wrap this way:

Best: real CF bits made from core.

Better: custom wrap with real CF (wat you got).

Good: custom wrap using DiNoc or equivalent simulated CF wrap (wat i have).

Decent: stick-on with real CF but with some form/shape to match contour. (this is the type currently sold here).

Bad: stick-on with no form/shape, just a flat piece of CF. this is the type that looks like crap when applied.

would love to have seen replica setup but its the same reason why we dont offer replicas but rather wrap them...cost of time and mold is too much.
yep, the bulky bubbliness i dont like either but again, if done with taste it should look okay. this is why i went with the simulated CF as it looks fused to the piece and does not appear added-on.
