Default Carbon Fiber

How many of you are going to use or are using carbon fiber to accent the interior?

I'll be using some real carbon fiber and some fake carbon fiber by:

you would never be able to tell it's not real.

ps - they did some work on Rad Rides Toyota for Sema last year.

One of my previous employers purchased an immersion graphics setup. I was working with their marketing department at the time. We got to use it for all sorts of stuff. You're right - the carbon fiber looks great. It's the same process used to put camo on four-wheelers. To my knowledge they never put the setup into production. It's a pretty interesting process.
