The texture feels like it looks. If that makes sense. It is not flat if that helps.

I'm a novice too. This was the first time I had done anything like this.
Remember. This isn't real Carbon Fiber. It's vinyl.
I used 3M Adhesion Promoter to make the surface tackier so that the bond was better. I used a plastic putty knife as a squeegee. I also used a heat gun to soften the material and it also helps it form around the edges of the lid.
When you take the covering off of the lid, there is a "trough" that made space for the stitched seam. I filled it in with Bondo (also my first time).
