Have been looking at the new gloss carbon fibre wrap that 3m is now doing. Was just wondering if anyone has used it yet? As I cant seem to find any reviews on it as of yet.
I know you will all say either get the real thing or don't bother but please, im only looking into it for cosmetic reasons, not performance.

I will let you know by the weekend mate. I purchased a firbreglass tailgate jdm style and it weights nothing and I'm wrapping this due to a few imperfections on the mould but when I was at my friends graphic shop it looked good quality

if I was to get any fake carbon bits done I would personally use the new trader on here who does carbon dipping it looks bloody good.

Matt black carbon on the far right, the new 'gloss' carbon on the left with *New written under it:
It is slightly glossier, looks nothing like laquered carbon fibre still though!
