Its basically the same as "wrapping" say the switch plates, since its nothing more than a piece of carbon fiber resined onto the plastic then floodcoated and finished. Only this is taped down rather than resined in place. Its no different than the fang overlay that everyone uses, a hardened piece of CF form fitting.
Now someone from Carbon Signal correct me if Im offbase here.
