great effort for sure...but feels mismatched to me.
e.g one would wonder what's CF doing on a car with OEM wheels? then we notice that it's a 5 speed automatic on top of that with 'Z' mats....then we realize that it's just fake CF...then we wonder why the roof is painted black
altogether, It's about as bad as the faux vents on our coupes!

Seemingly contrary to what everyone has been saying, I prefer the hood over the interior pieces. It's not that I actually like the CF hood though, it's that I think that 3M's Di-NOC CF looks better on large surfaces (like hoods, or B-pillars, etc) When it comes down to interior pieces, actual "wet" CF looks way cleaner. As someone else mentioned though, I would LOVE to get this done for the headlight housing.
EDIT: It could also be the quality of your camera. Maybe it's just that the interior shots don't look that good.

That's what I'm talking about too. Even though Di-NOC is the most realistic, it still doesn't give that full 3D feeling like wet CF does. Which is why for detailed work (ie: interior) I think wet CF is still better.
How about actually coating that hood in resin? I think it would look much better that way rather than the "fabric" look. The interior looks good, not really style but it looks pretty much the same as the CF fabric they put on the new M3s.

^Won't be sealing the vinyl to the car. The vinyl is waterproof so you'll only be putting epoxy/polyurethane on top of the vinyl. You can use a completely flexible clear epoxy system so that when you want, you can just peel off the vinyl when you change your mind..
I mean wouldn't you not be able to peel it off if the hard epoxy doesn't have any give?
