the carbon fiber sticker is basically a sticker with a pattern of a carbon fiber panel printed on it.

It is for those who want the LOOK of a carbon fiber part but too cheap to buy the real thing.

All show and no go.

Yep.

Just like those faux wood panel interior accents that Toyota can't seem to let go

it adds up to the weight that's all(although it's negligible)

Actually, layer enough carbon fiber sticker on the car, and it'll be bulletproof...

Just make sure it's the "reall" fake carbon-fiber... not the "fake" fake carbon-fiber. If you're going to go fake, make it look realistic, at least.

Er... isn't that supposed to be the kevlar fiber sticker?

You mean there is already a 'fake' of the fake?

The "real" fake carbon fiber is carbon-fiber laid over sticker sheet. So it's real carbon fiber, but fake in the sense that the part isn't carbon fiber, just coated in it.

Kevlar, Carbon, what's the difference? :hysterical:

Hi,

save your 3K and get something like ram intakes

Prices start at 6.5K I think. Plus, you get to wax your hood and make it shiny!

IMHO for small trims i could let go...but for the whole hood...too ricey for me. but to each is his own...but why spend 2-4k for something like that if in 4k you have a number of options for performance upgrades that would look "gwapo" din..? or better yet just save it for a bigger, better upgrade...

just my two cents... peace =)

I text Decalfx. 3k ata huling usapan namin for the wood size. Sa tutuban pa daw kasi office nya. But, dami nega feedbacks sa sticker, lumulutong daw pag matagal na nababad sa initan. Mahal kasi pa paint ng carbon fiber ranging 12k to 15k. Diba pinapatungan lang po ng net yun para maging carbon style??
