Lyle's is better that Outmotoring. I have them both and chose not to use the one from Outmotoring.

I used Lyle's and would highly recommend it. It's very high quality tape.

Outmotoring is basically electrical tape. I assume Lyle's is actual vinyl.

I ended up using a roll of flat black vinyl that I had my local sign shop cut in 5/8" strips. Got a roll of 30 yards for $30 and they charged me $20 to cut it (rip-off if you ask me, took 2 minutes to cut it).

I doubt it's actual CF, it's probably that dry carbon vinyl stuff. Still very expensive, regardless.

Either way it's pretty sweet. I want to get my car wrapped (probably matte black) cause it's getting a ridiculous amount of stone chips on the front

Are we talking about wrapping the entire car? If so wouldn't that cost a mint? How would it hold up to daily driving or would that be a show type car?

It is 3M Di-NOC Carbon Fiber vinyl. Yes, the material is awfully expensive.

Hey is your white-wrapped-vinyled-up car a Daily driver? Can it withstand day-to-day weather conditions?

wow... the carbon look is really sick but dam'n hot

@mattsenpai:my MCC is also wrapped in vinyl since september 09.
and i have too say-way much easier too clean and it saves the paintjob
the people cannot find out that this is no normal paint.

they ask "where did you get your mini painted?" "no!-it's not painted!" hehe

go for it if you have a great idea!!!
