How much do you need? I have some 3M CF leftover from doing a few small parts in my C6.

Does anyone know if the headlight armor cf matches the cf on the anvil spoiler? Thinking of wrapping my roof with cf when I get the anvil spoiler.

Sorry to thread jack. If you go to headlight armies website they'll send you a free sample of their stuff. Looks like quality stuff to me, but what do I know lol.

Also check out nightshades they sell 3m cf and are really cool people. I haven't bought from them, yet, but I have messaged them a few times about some projects and they're always willing to help out with anything I'm trying to do.

I wrapped these with vinyl from nightshades. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=219919

I ordered some from headlight armor as well but it was much more difficult to work with.

Sorry to hear that, we have found the material a lot easier to work with than 3M's latest wrap series material. 3M came out with their wrap series after we picked up Hexis. We tried it out and it is a lot thinner and as it is also textured a lot easier to tear along the structure of the material. It does look good and when installed properly will look good. In the end we decided Hexis was still the best in class, though not as much of a well known name in the USA as 3M's name.

As for the ebay stuff, like a lot of stuff on ebay a lot is very poor quality. Be careful. If you have found some useful stuff, you have done better than we have.
