Has anyone thought about putting CF overlay on their cars? I was thinking of trying this out. I recently got this rock chip on my side fenders and the looks of it just bothers me. I was looking for alternative way to hide it or get rid of it. I saw this CF overlay for our cars or any cars actually.

According to them it's REAL CF... And they actually sell sheets of it. Has anyone tried them? Maybe give some pointers on how to use it too hehe...

I'm probably going to do the whole fender. Since I got dinged there. It should match up with the CF hood also. Rather than spending a fortune for new fender or PURE CF product. I kind a hate putting CF stuff outside my car (like side skirts and what not) because I had CF lip before and I actually broke them in half hitting something on the fwy.

Well.... I'm not really looking to cover the whole front fender. I'm actually talking about the side fender. (driver and passenger) ... I've seen some cars with CF fenders. Looks pretty neat.
