Thanks a lot for comments. Sure it is wrap not made of carbon fabric it self. No one around would be able to do that for reasonable price . I'm sure not even close to reasonable price . I believe Ray knows this the best here . It has been made by my friend. He makes unbelievable things with that wrap:



And he spend like one week of working on it... he said never again unless someone pay at least $150 for the job .

Btw. here is one comparison pic between real carbon piece and that my box:



A you can see only reflection (or glass effect, call it however you want) makes it look different. So lets give it one layer of transparent lacker and it is perfect . My plan is to have all plastic boxes with relays or fuses inside engine bay looking like that + to buy goods from Ray made of real carbon (see picture below) and it will be perfect

They do look brilliant and I'm sure it wasnt easy to wrap that box too.
If thats the Vinyl I'm thinking of, remember to heat it to 90deg for the for it to fix perminantly.

I knew when I read the title that I'd see some cool stuff. This is cool stuff indeed. The SS-4 is getting prettier and prettier with time, Martin.
