It would probably be fugly (you asked).

I am not sure how you would do it either as the trim around the radio, etc has compound curves. The material would have to stretch in two directions and I don't know if that decal would do it (so you'd end up with wrinkles).

Ditto. It's the fugly FAKE carbon fiber which in reality looks NOTHING like CF.

CF has a special glare and depth to it which vinyl can't recreate.

It'll probably start peeling where ever you place it too.
