VViViDBlack True R Carbon Fiber Vinyl Wrap Roll with Air Release Technology (5 Foot by 5 Foot)

Product is easy to work with, just make sure you heat it after applying. I used it to refreshen up my console on the helm of my boat.

1st time working with wrap and it's definitely not a professional quality install....but it looks pretty darn good from a few feet away. I had to do a lot of repositioning and when all was done it was stuck down really well. I was able to work out little bubbles with the squeegee. I did crease it in a few small spots and I royally screwed up wrapping over the edge near the windshield....but otherwise it turned out pretty good. 4X5 feet of material was perfect for the hood and I had some little pieces leftover that I put on the door handles. I did use a heat gun on the edge when wrapping it around the backside, that seemed to help a little. Otherwise just scissors, a knife, and a squeegee. I used magnifying glasses for trimming the door handles and a super sharp pointy knife....kinda scary initially but after a bit putting the knife on it wasn't too bad. It cost 30 bucks and was totally worth it, how long it lasts remains to be seen but it made the car look a lot different (you see white model 3's like....everywhere right?) Might have to wrap something on the wife's car now LOL!

Good vinyl. I used my first of 3 rolls to wrap the diffuser on my BMW 335xi. Comparable to 3m dinoc but not as thick, and the "grain" of the weave has a somewhat circular pattern instead of going directly with the weave. It adds to the 3D effect. The 3 rolls I ordered did NOT come in a tube as stated, but Amazon shipped them in a box so it's not a big deal. All in all I'm more than satisfied with my purchase.I am leaving 4 stars instead of 5 because the vinyl is a little on the thin side so it's more difficult to work with--especially when heated. If you're new to vinyl wrapping take your time and err on the side of low/no heat unless absolutely necessary as it stretches fairly well at room temperature. My other reason for leaving 4 stars is because the seller states that it comes in a tube and mine did not.

This was my first time doing any vinyl wrap.I used a regular blow dryer and the result so far looked pretty darn good. The detail looks very realistic. It stretches easily with a blow dryer and air bubbles were easily pushed out using any plastic card. It took some trial and error for the corners but I think that comes with skill level (it was my first time and it came out okay). It's also a really good deal for how much you get for the pricing.It also matches very well with the Tesla Model S factory carbon fiber.

Alright, let me start with saying that this is my first time wrapping anything. I don’t even wrap gifts lolWith that being said, I am completely amazed at how good this came out. Like, I really can’t believe I did this myself!I was very hesitant at first, but with a few DIY videos for tips..I’m extremely happy with the outcome.The negative reviews here talk about the adhesive, the vinyl becoming brittle, the vinyl getting wrinkled, but literally all of that could of been fixed with a handy dandy heat gun. Even a hair dryer.Some tips I learned and wish I could’ve read here were:- CLEAN YOUR ITEM THROUGHLYA simple wipe down with a microfiber won’t do the trick. Isopropyl Alcohol or clay barring will remove contaminants that would affect how well the vinyl sticks. Especially towards the edge or where you come to a fold.- ALWAYS USE A LITTLE MORE FROM YOU NEEDonce you measure out how much you need, cut off an inch or two more. This will help when you come across wrinkles, air bubbles, or “fingers” (big long wrinkles you can’t squeegee out) the extra vinyl, make it easier to pull up on your vinyl to squeegee anything out. It also helps when you pull on your vinyl, it prevents possible tearing. Also it gives reassurance that you’ve cut enough to be able to wrap properly around your edges folds or creases.- A HEATGUN/HAIR DRYER IS YOUR BEST FRIENDUse minimal heat. It helps if you pre-heat your vinyl before applying it to your object. It will become soft and stretchy so that when you apply the vinyl not only will it stick better but it will also become flexible and take the shape of your object. (Like curves, lines, etc) also, when you’ve come to an edge, applying heat there will cause the vinyl to naturally fall over the edge and will stick better.Did your vinyl get brittle? Apply heat!Did your vinyl get wrinkled? Apply heat!Do you feel like you didn’t cut enough and won’t be able to wrap around the edge? Apply heat and stretch!- DONT BE SCARED TO PULL OR LIFTThis is very durable material. But also don’t go to the extreme and over stretch.-KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON HOW VINY IS BEING APPLIEDIf an air bubble appears where you’ve just applied vinyl, it’s easier to pull back and work the bubble out, than to finish your wrapping and seeing an air bubble you missed located dead center on your object, making you basically unwrap your object halfway to get that bubble out Because you know it’ll bother you.You can use an old credit card or gift card (wrap the edge you’ll use with electrical tape to prevent scratching) or squeegee to assure the vinyl sticks to the entire surface. This also prevents air bubbles.- DONT FORGET TO POST-HEATOnce you’ve finished wrapping, apply heat to entire area you’ve wrapped. This is just as important as prepping the area you’re about to cover. Post heating will prevent the vinyl from trying to pull back and go back to its natural form. So with post heat you’ll know your wrap won’t lift or curl back. This is best with the heat gun, a hairdryer might be too weak for this one.I hope this helps! Enjoy!

This is my second time using a Vvivid product with the previous being the ultra gloss white. I did an entire Honda CRV with the Vvivid ultra gloss product last November and figured that I would try Vvivid to wrap the hood on another car.I’m not sure how this wrap is different from the ultra gloss, but I could not glass this on the hood to save my life. The adhesive is entirely too strong, if it touches a panel, it takes two hands to pull that part of the vinyl back up. There is no way that you can pull up a large portion of this wrap to re-glass. I was working in an 85° garage, so that might have been the issue, but otherwise this was horrible to work with.I will say that the carbon wrap looks very nice, but installation is a nightmare

The quality is fine. Easy to apply but I've bought 2 colors: VViViD XPO Gunmetal Grey Carbon (too light), VViViD® Black True R Carbon Fiber (too dark). I want a shade between these. Rofus AI bot is too stupid to help and there is no way to contact the seller otherwise. The online images don't reflect the actual color well enough to make another selection. Maybe someone else can provide the answer or maybe the seller with see this review.
