Default Carbon Fiber Vinyl, anyone used it?

I'm thinking of getting a roll of self adhesive Carbon Fiber Vinyl and applying it to certain interior pieces instead of paying hundreds of dollars for pre-fabbed kits. The roll I saw looks EXACTLY like CF and is self adhesive. If done correctly it should look identical. Anyone have any direct experience with it?

For what it's worth.....did the vinyl sheet myself, but didn't like the look, it seamed too fake and was very hard to apply around complex corners, which our interior stuff has alot of....but, yours might look better, still your call....

I just went with the real deal from Fiberglast, just need the time to do the job, I'll be sure to post when I can....

I just got a roll for the same purpose. It looks ok but is a real pain on corners and such.

Some things it works great on (I made some wheel center caps that came out great), and on other things it looks like *** (I tried to make a radio trim panel and the results were not pretty).
