I've worked with quite a few different carbon wraps. He's right about the cheap stuff, but it's twice the thickness and doesn't like harsh angles or awkward shapes. I've had it on my 5 series for 3 yrs. Parked outside everyday, and it's still looks good.
Very good comparison using the wrap against the real CF. The 5D, 6D, 327D (whatever) was definitely (IMHO) the best match. The first two were somewhat close and the 3rd one missed by a mile.
Lol yeah the 3rd is trash not even close! 😂 I’m really glad this was helpful I know we have purchased hundreds of dollars in carbon just trying to find a decent one!
I've seen real carbon fiber pieces in person and they have some sort of "brownish" color on them at a certain angle of the Sun. I believe SOTT knocked it out of the park alongside with VVIVID gloss carbon fiber. Then again some carbon parts are made differently like the pattern/finish. Overall I'm impressed with the eBay 5D looking one matching your current carbon fiber piece 👌🏻
My seibon carbon fiber hood and trunk have a gold/ brownish sparkle when I look closely with my led flashlight. I got lucky with a eBay carbon fiber spoiler matching. So either completely carbon fiber or skinned with real carbon fiber.
Why did you have all other wraps go the opposite direction of the carbon then with the last one the you preferred you had it run in the same direction ??
Wrapped my spoiler, B Pillars and front emblem in 5D carbon from eBay. I’m blown away with how close it is. Held it next to an actual CF piece and was stunned at the accuracy. And it’s stupid cheap 👌🏽
Black Reef Co lmaoooo I thought I was tripping. It’s definitely a 15-17 Mustang front lip 👌🏼 Why anyone would want to make a Stang part fit on a jag is beyond me 😂
Have you tried Vvivid wraps? They have great carbon fibre options. I had a cheap 5D wrap that went swirly on me after one wash. Vvivid is a game changer
Dan Holt thank you very much, so we have used 5D, 6D, and 7D. We can not tell any distinguishing difference. We ordered the film off of eBay and it does not list as a specific brand. I really hope this helps!
@@PrecisionWrapsGraphics Sadly there are dozens of 5d and the like on ebay and they are different manufacturers so saying 5d or 7d ebay is actually useless. And your 7d ebay link you posted under Jon Van Vox comment is nothing. A lot of the 5d ebay carbons look bad as well. Seems companies are capitalizing on the wrap you showcased success and making knockoffs. Would be great if you linked more than 5d. That tells us nothing.
Hey I apologize for the link that was sent that’s all I found because the old link was off of eBay. I went back through the receipts and found a website on the invoice. Http://www.autogoody.com. It’s listed as 7d on the invoice but we have purchased 5d from the same seller and they were indistinguishable. I really hope this helps. Thank for watching and your feedback.
I'm not sure if my carbon fiber on the top of my mirrors is a wrap or real(I'll have to check it out when it's daylight) If it's a wrap is it possible to sand/polish a scratch out of it? There's a scratch on it and I want to fix it myself but I don't want to make it worse than it already is.
It’s not the best quality compared to name films but the finish is unmatched! If properly installed you will get a good year or two of life, then you will have some delamination issues.
@@PrecisionWrapsGraphics Thanks for the reply. I was going to wrap my S2000's hood and trunk with carbon fiber (I have a carbon hardtop and I might wrap that to avoid the mismatch carbon pattern, I hate taking care of the clear coat). I heard that the no-name stuff is hard to manipulate and it very tacky, making it hard to adjust. I was looking into the market for the "most" realistic carbon fiber. What are your suggestions for the easy of application and shelf life? I was looking into Vvivid's Black Tech Art Gloss Carbon XPO. What are your thoughts?
Sorry for the delay so this is the seller we purchased it from, and yes any solvent or petroleum distillates can damage over time if they are not removed quickly. If you do get gas on it clean it off immediately and it should be fine. We recommend having the wrap ceramic coated, that will help with any accidents. www.google.com/shopping/product/1?q=7d+carbon+fiber+wrap+ebay&start=80&hl=en&authuser=0&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS792US792&biw=414&bih=620&tbs=vw:l,ss:44&prmd=sivn&prds=num:1,of:1,epd:9247915589161963435,paur:ClkAsKraX0TMNx2ihYaOJUEnJQ_TRYqGoqv3BwWrDWdX04WihxV6zrN2nDunzapdf6Kp8o8WDzamiHIwkFMulrVwL2gf9s49Pvz7njZsEysQiqiJ4h_h1PFseRIZAFPVH72GysmSmNMpi4ECPGEQoyu7LVxv-w,prmr:1,pid:9247915589161963435,cs:1
A have a question if you don’t mind.. I ordered some eBay wrap, I’m looking to do a very small piece. I’m going to wrap the bezel of my lower grill in a 3D carbon, my question is do you think 2k clear would have any bad effect on the wrap? Dissolve the adhesive maybe? I wanted to add multiple coats, then wet sand and polish to get it as close as possible to a real CF piece. Thanks for any advice.
So there are a couple different things that could possibly go wrong one is that you would have to sand/Scotch-Brite you would have to scuff the vinyl for the 2K clear to even stick also the vinyl will become soft in heat and the clearcoat will harden one is made to flex one is constantly hardened with the different expansion rate you may have a problem with delamination or clearcoat failure over time.
Precision Wraps & Graphics Thank you so much for the answer. Yea, I ordered a “matte” carbon with the hope it’ll have something for the clear to stick to as it seems more textured vs the gloss carbon wraps. Surprisingly, I can’t find a lot of people online trying this, there’s like one here and TH-cam and one on an old website where they cleared some wood grain wrap that turned out great. Really appreciate you taking your time to answer this.
I just tried this with 4d which is semi glossy on its own and it does add first of all a much deeper black effect when viewed from the sides, like real carbon and second gives a real feel of it looking like it has depth when viewed closely, again like real carbon. The gloss was just slightly less than plain, wasnt trying super hard or anything, but I think it's mainly because it made the black deeper which looks even better in the sun and point on carbon fiber from an angle. I did 2 coats of 2k just to try, a wet sand to 2500 and a quick coconut oil polish. If I were you put a very heavy coat and make sure to sand down the texture in the coat from the wrap after getting the first few coats so that the clearcoat doesnt keep the texture as you add more. Another idea is just to paint on epoxy like you would real carbon, being very careful of course but at that point you could just do a carbon skin if you dont mind something permanent. Hope this helps!
@@aaronbrown4366 I know this was over a year ago but if u haven't already tried this u can polish then clean all the polish off with a surface prep and use a ceramic coating that will add a little bit of a gloss to the matte wrap and enhance the gloss affect to an already gloss wrap
All the shops on amazon and ebay are buying it from a few chinese dealers on aliexpress who all probably buy from the same factory. thats why theres no branding and the grid pattern on the back of all of them is identical. Hes right in the video. The vinyl is very nice to work with. It feels thick but a little heat gets it super conformable without glue lines. I was really impressed with this film. For instance is you live in the US all screws come from like 4 factories in China but sell them to thousands of companies that use their own branding to sell them at Lowes/ Home Depot and the likes.
Armor-All has a ‘super shine’ version of their vinyl protectant pump spray that includes their standard level of UV protection. I just wonder if that would enhance the gloss even further, plus UV damage may have been responsible for the delamination problems you mentioned, and if so this should help that too. It would probably need to be renewed occasionally, but it’s relatively cheap, good for all kinds of other stuff, and easy to apply, so maintaining it shouldn’t be tough. A video of such a test would be very interesting I think.
Hello what is the bane of the last glossy carbon fiber ? And have you found the best looking in glossy? I have bought all of them on the internet and they are lo the same . Thanks
Just get the part overlayed with real cf it may cost a little more than a wrap but you have the real thing...stop wasting money on fake carbon. Go real or go home.

I used the Ebay and it turned out to be the best and glossy
which one u used?
@@gerardovalencia9892 6d but it was ages ago.
Aver dry weave looked the best
The last one is definitely the best looking
A link to the one you liked would have been dope... I want some for my challenger... Is it easy to put on a matte hood? (TA 392)
Really want to give that film a try, I was leaning heavily towards the Sott gloss carbon but I hear it looks very greyish/brown in person.
Jonathan Pena The Sott Carbon is what we tested in the video, we were not impressed! It was the 3rd piece we tested, elements 6 I believe.
explained exactly what i wanted to hear! nearly had the sott wrap, after seeing this, definately want the avery dennison!!
Awesome that the video is for, to hope save people money or know exactly what they are getting! 🙌🏻
I have an idea - compare 6D carbon wrap film with polyurethane gloss film on top with real carbon like you just did.
very informative!! many thx
Hello, can you please leave a link to the no brand wrap that looks very nice ? Thanks :) nice video by the way
I feel like the first one looked the best lol
First one was the best he just had it facing wrong pattern
You could add glossy clear coat on it.
Wow. That last one looks incredible! Is that a cast or a calendered. How does that compare to Vvivid's Tek R?
Well no wonder it didnt fit. That chin splitter is meant for a 15-17 mustang
😂 that would make sense lol
Black Reef Co lmaoooo I thought I was tripping. It’s definitely a 15-17 Mustang front lip 👌🏼 Why anyone would want to make a Stang part fit on a jag is beyond me 😂
The eBay wrap is a bastard to work with. Once you lay it repositioning and stretching is almost impossible
Thanks for the info! I agree the “eBay carbon” does look the best!
I know I hope other manufacturers like 3M and Avery Dennison will start making it in the gloss finishes. And the same realistic look.
Precision Wraps & Graphics they need to if they wanna stay a head of the knock offs.
It could be a huge seller if they do!!
So what brand was the best looking then? Don’t have a definitive answer?
but 3m does not look bad at all. the eBay one looks nice at some positions but it does not look nice all the time, Do you agree?
3m looks great if you are going for the dry carbon look, but it doesn’t have the gloss and depth the 7d Carbon has.
are u allowed to use clearcoat spray on the wrap?
I actually like the dry one...don't want the gloss one
I have real carbon on my exterior I’m thinking of this for interior
Have you tried Vvivid wraps? They have great carbon fibre options. I had a cheap 5D wrap that went swirly on me after one wash. Vvivid is a game changer
Thanks for sharing that info,I m gonna check it out.
Vinyl wrapping actual carbon fiber? OMG you guys are mental. 🎉
if you put PPF over the carbon wrap would it give you the clear look?
Can you share where you bought it?
The Ultimate wrap is which?
so the most realistic is 5d? or which one did you use
What brand was that real nice one again
I don't think it was a specific brand - As he states you should look for a 5D or higher to get the best look.
The expensive stick on one looked like a floor mat close up .
Weave w a clear ppf will do it.
which brand is this, if you type that in amazon im getting a few brands?
Sorry for the delay his username on eBay is integra9006hid I hope this helps
