no its real carbon fiber with a thick epoxy on top. But it applies like a sticker. Looks good Mike !

Carbon fiber never really photos well.

I think if I'm not mistaken you dont take anything off, you just paste them over.

sorry mike but i think it looks like crap. wen iwas lookin through yur thread, i was drinkin water and i nearly choked on it wen i saw it. maybe its just cuz iz on a pic. the carbon fiber stuff just sticks out too much and ruins teh whole look of the rx8. iono thats just my opinion.

looks nice, but if you were to sell your 8 in the future, that epoxy will be a bitch to take off when you peel the carbon fiber off. it'll probably ruin some of the surface. also, it will more cleaning for you because a lot of junk/dirt/lint gets stuck on the edges/creavaces on the carbon fiber kit.

Sorry, but I'm with stuart99. It looks way to busy for my taste. I guess I like to keep things a little more simple and clean looking.
