I did a lot of searching for that pattern, and had to have my guy order it special.

Most CF patterns are just shadows in opposing directions. If you look at my parts, they have individual fibres in each one. It looks far more realistic than most, and I think if we had put a thicker layer of clear (multi coats) it would have had a very real look. Still pretty happy with it compared to textured factory plastic. I also had him use a black base coat which shows through the pattern.

This was before the clear.

^^It looks really good. I have a few ideas for this spring with the dipping process and all I wonder about is the durability and quality. My car isn't a daily driver but I still want a piece of mind about it*

Nevermind the bathroom setting and the scrubbing bubbles...

Also I just brushed some clear on it just to see how the weave is going to look before slam 2-3 layers of clear to level some areas out and then the tinted clear will go on then the matte clear.
