Default Carbon Fiber Wrap SL63 AMG (South Florida)
This vehicle was just purchased by one of our clients it only had 9000 miles on it. He loves the black on black look and did not like the wood grain on the dash. So he ask us if we could wrap them in carbon fiber since Mercedes Benz wanted over $1000 to replace the wood grain.

The car when it pulled up:

This is the end results:

Nice! I don't blame the guy for not liking the wood in that car, it does look out of place.

We tested the wraptivo against 3m's 1080 for Erik@lashway's race car, BackLASH and it was night and day the difference. 3M is the way to!

My 2 Cents...

Yup it it did not stick as well and it did not look as good either. We had a client in here that had some eBay wrap on his sail panel that looks even worse.

Just spend a little more and get 3m
