    There's good diy's around of people doing this. However it's on interior panels.

    My guess the problem with using the actual fabric is to get good adhesion the surface must be rough.. Better off getting the panels wrapped in 3M carbon fibre stuff.

    Yeah. It's not real stuff. But you can stick it over the top and peel it off when you want without damaging paint. Assuming this is on exterior panels?

    That's some of the best interior work I've seen.
