No, and please don't do it to your car.
I saw a probe at Darknights this year who put that garbage on his trunk to give it a CF look. I actually laughed at the car as I saw it and looked at the owner while laughing as well. It's a joke. Don't do it. You will be a laughing stock.

Haven't seen that stuff yet, but I can just imagine how stupid it must look. I mean, it can never be all flush, it'd have ridges etc allover the place. Yuk!

It does look alright if you know how to use it...
ofcourse, if you cover your whole car with this, it'll look fake...but if ur using just a little bit, its pretty good...

It will look like crap. And when people come up to your car and realize its a sticker, they are going to point and laugh at you man. I know I sure as hell would,

Bottom line is that if you use fake carbon fiber on your car, you dont get any points. In fact, you lose points. :P
If you want a carbon fiber hood, you're better off waiting until a good company starts making one for your car and then buy it. Messing around with stickers is going to turn your car into a joke. If you want to look different, you could always have your car painted 2-tone.. like the middle of the hood painted a contrasting color, carry it over the roof and the trunk/hatch and it might look good.

Or if your pockets are real deep, you can maybe talk to a company that deals with carbon fiber, and get them to make you a hood

A CF hood doesn't cost that much actually... Its only like $400-$500....unless ur getting sumthing like this where the CF has a weave of color in there, that'll still only go for like $800-$900

The hood of that Mazda looks good in the pic, but I don't know about how it would look in person. I seen a crapalier with that CF tape on the back trunk area and it looks like shat. And yes I laughed. Just wait for an 05 CF to come to market.

The simple fact of the matter is that fake carbon fibre = rice. The point of carbon fibre is to lighten the weight of your car whilst not sacraficing the strength of it. CF tape is just as bad as chrome tape... actually worse
