Carbon Fiber B-Pillars

Carbon Fiber B-Pillars
ok so i ordered some carbon fiber vinyl off ebay (48" x 24" sheet).
can be found here with different sizes available: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/260856777621?...84.m1439.l2649
this stuff looks pretty damn good for a vinyl with a textured surface.
Anyways, today was such a beautiful day in Toronto so i thought i'd go ahead and apply the vinyl to my B-Pillars. i have never done this before and it took me about 30 each side to apply.
below are some pics, let me know what you think

I think the vinyl looks great if there is little cf on your car like the others have said.
I have a couple cf things and I felt the need to go with the real one because it would look silly among all the rest of the clear coated cf.
Here is a pic of the more expensive option for comparison.

did you remove the plain black wrap from the pillar before applying the cf or did you just wrap over it?
I am going to try spraying a test piece of the dinoc with a few layers of clear coat to see how it comes out for a more realistic CF look , if it looks good i'll do the same to the vinyl on the car

I have some extra dinoc laying around and my stock pillar wrap has some battle scars... im digging the look of the dinoc with clear coat... I wonder what more coats would look like. maybe I need to do some experimenting.
