CF Fabric?

XRL · 08-25-09, 08:37

Anyone ever used any of this stuff (it goes by a few names, one of them is Neffy). Have been considering wrapping my center console and a few other places with this stuff since the paint is chipping(GM "quality" ftl). Curious if anyone had any experience with it. I hear the BMW guys are all in love with this stuff.

Thanks.

Was going to do it as well on my Bimmer, I still want to. I'd go for it, I think it was around $30 for 1X1.5 Yards on ebay. You might be able to just get real CF fabric for slightly more, and then coat it with resin. Won't cost all that much more and it's real.

What are you seeing it listed as on ebay?

I got samples of this stuff

and Neffy. Neffy is much thinner, and has more of a higher contrast pattern. The thicker stuff is supposedly more durable, and is 2/3 the price of Neffy when you add shipping. They both look good, and frankly I think that if I didn't see the Neffy stuff I'd be thrilled with the cheaper stuff. The cheaper stuff looks great when the light hits it, but when there's no light on it you can't tell there's a weave really, though the cheaper stuff offers other colors that are lighter and such.
