Yeah Ive never actualy heard of anyone painting a carbon fiber pattern on.. But thats not saying it cant be done but I would assume lots of man hours which generaly = $$$. Hes actualy fairly close to me but Ive been in the part of GA for only 7 months so I dont know much of anything down here yet. Body work costs a lot and is last on my list.. But hey man if you find a good body shop that does good work for a fair price let me knwo!

Its possible to paint a pattern that somewhat looks like carbon fiber but if thats the look you really want vinyl is really a better option. At least that way in a years time you can peel it off when you get tired of it. IMHO I wouldn't do it, leave it for the ricers.

Ive never been a fan of carbon fiber except the inserts on the interior of my buddies WRX but it suits his car well. But hey we dont have to live with it, if thats what he wants on his truck then all the more power to him. Im sure not everything I do or will do to my truck pleases everyone here. Like I already said.. Your truck you do what you please with it. Cant make us happy and you not be happy with it

Hey thanks for the backup cochran07, and I'm a wanabe ricer in the make, so thats why I want to do this. And for those with the vinyl, its a good idea but I aint got the time right now for my impatinet *** to put the time and effort into it.
