I put some carbon fiber vinyl on the front bumper insert to match the stone guards on the rear fenders. It balances out the look pretty nicely.

Very nice job.
Is this stuff easy to install? I have some pieces that I thought it would look good on.

It would be a lot easier to install if the insert was off the bumper,but I thought I would give it a try without pulling the bumper.It takes a heat gun to soften it up to make some of the curves fit smoothly. It gets a little goofy on the bottom, because it heeds to shrink rather than stretch, so some pie cuts in the vinyl are helpful. Since the cuts are on the bottom they are not seen...give it a try!

Silly question... Is real Carbon Fiber or imitation? However, looks really great!

It's a vinyl overlay.
