VVIVID Epoxy High Gloss Black Carbon Vinyl Automotive Wrap Film DIY Easy to Install No Mess (1.5ft x 5ft)

First off got to say I got this specifically because carbon fiber parts for my car are hard to come by and Incredibly expensive so when I saw this stuff with the high gloss I pulled the trigger on it and got a few rolls and I'm very pleased with the results. I did my shifter console plate and my t-tops on my 86 Trans Am and the stuff at first was a little Troublesome to work with but once you get the hang of it and figure out where to start and where to work to it goes fairly easily especially since it's not like window tint where once it's stuck at you're done you can actually pull it up and retry and refitted a few times and applying heat to it helps Flex it around Troublesome curves you just have to know what spots to hit the heat with and what spots not to otherwise it will contract and expand in the wrong places and then you'll end up getting a crease and it will stick to itself. And then with the larger role that I had that was five foot by 6 foot I took on wrapping a fiberglass hatch and came out looking like it was bought as a molded carbon fiber hatch , took about 3 hours but if you're patient there is literally no limit to what you can do with this stuff . Make sure you got a good quality heat gun don't use it too much in one spot and have a really really sharp razor blade

My order arrived quickly and as described. The actual product consists of three layers: a thin, clear protective layer, the actual faux carbon fiber vinyl, and a white paper backing. When unrolling the product, you'll find that the product will want to spring back into the curled form quite aggressively, so much so that the clear film will crinkle and separate from the vinyl in places. Don't worry, as this is completely normal and the vinyl is what is important, not the film or backing. The vinyl itself was very impressive. I've worked with quite a few vinyl appliques, and this one seems to be of very good quality (though I'll reserve my final decision for when it's been on the car for an extended period). Application was straightforward and I found that I could get away with applying it to fairly complex parts without having to resort to window film spray, though on larger pieces I would definitely recommend it. Once the film was in place, some gentle application of heat with a heat gun set it in place and allowed it to conform perfectly to the piece. Running a soft cloth over the surface helped to set it in place and press it into small recesses. In sunlight, this product really stands out. Light will reflect from the "carbon fibers" in a highly realistic fashion. I am exceptionally happy with the look and have high hopes that it remains durable for years to come.

Product is very nice, I was happy with the appearance, unfortunately I found it much harder than it looked to apply. I tried my best to use it on a door panel, but could not get it to stick in one of the corners. But the worse was that small specs of material will leave a tiny bump visible on the outside. Obviously you need the layer perfectly clean. In my case it was very difficult to have a perfect application layer because of a thin layer of some substance that I just could not sand off fully. I will try again later on other surfaces and parts that are more suitable and easier to learn on.

I've never liked vinyl carbon fiber, it always looks very fake and cheap. However, I really wanted some trim pieces in my car to be carbon fiber. I searched around and stumbled on this product. I decided to give it a go, along with 3 other brands and I would simply pick whichever I liked best. I had never heard of VVIVID before so I wasn't expecting too much. Holy cow was I wrong. As soon as I took all the vinyls out of the box, I immediately knew which one to use. This stuff looks great, it has depth and reflects light more like carbon. I was so impressed with the looks that I packed up all the rest and sent them back. I just spent the past few hours wrapping some trim pieces with it. It is quite a bit thicker than most other vinyls, so it will definitely take some heat to get it to do what you want. Some people say it doesn't stick, but they must not have watched the companies installation videos on how to activate the adhesives. It is designed not to be too sticky at first so you can reposition it easily, then you activate the adhesives with heat according to their instruction. I had no problem getting it to fit very complex curves and corners. It seems to stick very well. IMO, you need to get the "VVIVID Epoxy High Gloss Black Carbon fiber", their other carbons dont look as great as this does. All in all, I liked the end result so much that I logged onto Amazon at 1 am to write this review. :D

Nice n Smooth! It was installed with ease and less air bubbles. I would definitely recommend this wrap!

Product looks ok, not as good as I was expecting based on other reviews. The self adhesive did not work for me as it kept wanting to peel off interior plastic trim. I had to use contact cement to get it to stick well.

Vvivid makes a great vinyl wrap, unfortunately I've received 4 wraps and none of them have been what I actually ordered. I’m writing this review to inform the public that you could end up with something completely different than what you intended. I wanted to see this epoxy carbon fiber so bad and the first order I received was supposed to be the grey epoxy but turns out it wasn’t. Didn’t find that out until dealing with vvivid directly. The wrap that I received looked like the grey epoxy but apparently it was the gunmetal dry carbon fiber. But before that all happened I had ordered a larger size of the grey epoxy and received what this review is listed under. You can imagine my surprise to think you’re getting a larger size of something you’ve already tried and it’s a completely different product. This color epoxy isn’t even a carbon fiber pattern so be warned on that. Ordered a replacement through Amazon and received the exact same thing again after they agreed it wasn’t the same as my first order. That’s when I reached out to vvivid directly and found out I had never received what I initially ordered. They did offer a replacement and after it was delivered to the wrong house and I found it on my porch the next day opened with a note explaining why one of my neighbors thought it was there’s, you can imagine my frustration to see that vvivid themselves sent me gunmetal dry carbon fiber wrap as a replacement for me never receiving my initial order of a grey epoxy carbon fiber. Now they just stopped emailing me back. So I’ll end with this. It’s a gamble and good luck

Good stuff, easy to work with.

Looks good but needs heat to stick

Caché très bien fait une belle finition

Really happy with this carbon wrap. Used a heat gun to wrap carbon around door handle, easy to use and looks great!
