Nothing beats the real thing

Noooo... But the fake thing and $700 in my pocket is nice too

^ What he said. Id rather use this stuff to do some matching and have a few grand left over for real performance mods then to waste money on the "real thing". On the roof especially, youre just adding it over, so the real CF would actually add more weight, whithout any benefits.

Dont get me wrong CFE, your stuff looks amazing, but its wayyyyy too expensive.

I wouldnt say we are "WAYYYtoo expensive" Carbon fiber and Resin are themselves expensive materials, along with the amount of work it takes, we aren't simply applying a double sided sticker and calling it a day. Each piece takes hours to perfect from preparing, laying down material, sanding, reapplying resin, more sanding, more resin, more sanding, cleat coating, wet-sanding and buffing.....Its in no means to cost the same as cloth or leather that's for sure. Thank you for the compliment though

Lol, brother, you read that wrong, he is saying Carbon Fiber is expensive,
NOT
What you guys at CFE make

I have the utmost respect for those who do things the legit way when they have the means... It just ain't for me

Carbon_z · 03-15-2013, 11:43 AM

Ah I see, Read it as CFE was expensive

Wanted to justify the cost factor behind carbon fiber and the process.

Thanks for clearing it up

. On a side note, for a cheap alternative they do make a have gloss chemical agents you can apply to vinyl and plasti dip to enhance the weave in painted items/vinyls

pretty much this professional described everything in detail, I once tried to make carbon fiber parts for my g37 and only ended up with 200 dollars material in trashcan + epoxy drips on my garage floor. it is some labor intense stuff.

couldve been better if i have gone with infusion system

LostSol · 03-15-2013, 02:00 PM

DE is right, I'm talking about cosmetic CF in general. Like I said I've seen pics of your work and it looks amazing, and I'd kill to have a bunch of red CF adorning my interior, but I just cant see myself spending thousands for looks. But that's just me!

We dont charge THOUSANDS lol Just saying. Door switch panels are usually around 100-200 shipped depending on the kind of carbon your seeking.

Back on topic !

So there was a link in the description in youtube video.

DECALFX.com! CARBON2™ VINYL! Realistic Carbon Fiber Look! Low cost, high quality vinyl film overlay sheets! For hoods, custom interior dash trim moulding! 3M Di-Noc Dinoc wrap

It seems like they buy 3m or any other manufacturer CF film and overlay the glossifier or some sorts to make it shiny.

Textured pattern, NOT PRINTED! Don't be fooled by others.

Extremely HIGH GLOSS, SMOOTH FINISH!

Permanent acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive.

Made from OEM certified automotive graphics vinyl.

Conforms to curved surfaces.

Stands up against water, dirt, grease, salt, snow, etc.

Long life with excellent UV durability.

Easy and fun to apply!

Any thoughts?
