    thanks Big!!

    And you're right, it is very similar .. I work with carbon fiber (I do kayaks, paddles, etc.) and can confirm that this patch is up more beautiful than the actual carbon .. because the adhesive is a 3D textured and reflects light at various angles and real carbon, not so much because the resin leaves the surface smooth.. I like the result (y)

    here is a real and fake carbon fiber for comparision..

    to be used in a small instrument panel, I think that's good enough

    I hesitated at first .. but once installed ... why not? with the advantage of being able to return to the original, or replace the vinyl case spoil ..
