DIY cf interior?

i wanted to have my interior covered with carbon fiber and i REFUSE to use one of those ebay carbon fiber pattern vinyls. Then i was searching and I found Hasepro Magic Carbon Fiber sheets.

I ordered it from more-japan.com and the quality is exceptional. Smooth texture of real cf, extreamly pliable, and it can be cut clean with regular scissors! It comes with a sheet of stencil paper where u can make ur own stencil.

I'll take some pics of the actual thing as soon as i can

so basically.. this is a NON-ebay carbon fiber pattern vinyls from a site with japan in the url?

and.. if you ask me.. $29 for an 8x10 INCH square is expensive as all hell.

i have the cf i got from pepboys(let the games begin!)and it's been on my side pillars for two years now and there iis no cracking ,peeling or fading at all and i still think for the price $14.99 and some change not a bad product.to tell you the truth i was tired of cleaning finger prints off the pillars since people do not use the handle now adays and it has lasted for a good amount of time without any extra cleaning needed.sooo to say that it works for me and i have heard a few people have done the long interior silver trim inside there cars with this stuff with some good looks and the cost is cheap.i say if you got the dough go spend it!

those cf pattern vinyl is different from thee because these are real cf, not patterns. and, yes they are kinda pricey since its a reputable company in japan.
