Well, not really real carbon fiber... but close!! I got some vinyl from www.stickercastle.com and covered my stock skirts with it. Its just the trick I was looking for. Since the skirts are black anyway it doesn't look much different from stock from a distance. Up close is when you can tell. Its a good effect that will win points at shows I think. It is also so much easier to take care of than the skirts. I just wipe it down and they are done. No protectant needed. I love that. What do you think?
