The real purpose of vinyl wrap is to make something look pleasing to it's owner while protecting the paint underneath. It could be pulled off anytime with no residue.

I want a mirror chrome body wrap for the whole car. But I'm afraid I'll never be able to find it in the parking lot ever again; All I'll see is the cars next to it!

Ok, then get a black vinyl wrap. Fake carbon is horrendously lame. If your wrap was black, you're going for style, if it's carbon, you're trying to force a race look, and give the impression that you dropped a bunch of money on a light-weight hood.

LAME

And as mentioned, you'd need to nab some flares, big rims, etc to make it look tasteful on an FB. A stock FB with a bunch of carbon is like a black guy with bleach blond hair... WTF?

To each his own. It won't hurt anything to put it on, it comes off easy enough.
