I opted for the 'real carbon fiber' variety, well see what they look like upon arrival.

Kit came in yesterday, very high quality. These are individual laser cut pieces of real carbon fiber. Should be fun (PITA) to install.

I'm sure they come with install instructions, but something I do when I install vinyl is use painters tape to hold it once I have it lined up with markings/holes/seams and then peel a little backing off to get it stuck down and slowly continue that downward. Not sure if that will work in your case or not.

I added some 3D carbon fiber look to the 2 side pieces. I always disliked the satin silver . My first attempt at vinyl wrap,so of course I chose pieces with compound curves
