I think that is what my rear diffuser is wrapped in, and if so, it isn't even close.

I found a thread by @artsci who wrapped the end of his dash which I want to do. It looks nearly identical to stock. Waiting on a reply from him.

I have the small leather lock in the center console wrapped in 3M Carbon Fiber and it is almost a perfect match to the OEM. Just a bit more texture when you touch it but aesthetically the same. I will post a pic when it is possible.

Here is post with images I made for another thread. In my opinion not close.

Yes, post #6. And it is CFS12 - 1080 black carbon fiber cast. I own a wrap shop and am certified 3M installer so no confusion of the material

I am certified installer of Avery and Oracal as well but their carbon fiber is similar in appearance. The brand I didn't have a chance to compare but might get closer look is vvivid /post #8 in the linked thread above/

Vvivid is exactly the same, I use both interchangeably.

Are you recommending CFS12 as a close match? They look similar in low light, but with bright light they look to have very different reflective properties.

its not a perfect match. it is textured and has a bit of shine to it

In my opinion CFS 12 is no match for any carbon fiber.
