Default CF Wrapped Accents on 15 Nismo Bumper?

Looking for some feedback on this.

The plastic on my front bumper was fading so i decided to wrap it in gloss CF. Try to ignore my crappy cut lines but what do you guys think?

My roof is wrapped as well so it ties in fairly well.

Leave it or go gloss black?

Thanks

Not a fan of fake CF. it's a 45K car, use real CF accents IMO

Which brand wrap did you use? This one does not look that great. Sorry

Send it to carbon fiber element. Might be expensive to ship, I thought u were talking about the red accent pieces

Thank you for the honest opinions guys.

I used ViVViD Vinyl TechArt Gloss CF. It was hard to get a good picture of it because of the lighting in my garage so it does look a bit blurry and distorted.

If i can get better pics later on I'll try but its stored away for winter at the moment.

Here is a pic of the vinyl up close

Thanks for the idea but I'm not looking to spend a few thousand on a new bumper ATM.

Just wanted something to cover up the plastic fading

the jagged edges is wat kinda ruins it for me.

also, for your faded exterior blacks, you might want to try this product called blackwow by octaneguy.

That's understandable. I certainly didnt take as much time as i could have, it was cold and i just wanted to get it done lol. If i have the time i might give it a go again.

I appreciate the inputs from though and will look into the Blackwow

I like the idea, I saved some cash and did a wrap on the b pillar and window trim on my '13 nismo. I like the look on my color with the dipped handles. I think if you give it another shot and get the edges perfect it'll look great.
