Playing around with Carbon Fiber Fabric, Tell me what you think! Options

[Spider77]

Alright, so Ive had this sample of carbon fiber fabric sitting around for awhile. Have been looking for a less expensive way to get that CF look without that CF price. After a bit of searching I came across this other automotive forum who were using the fabric as its pretty close to the BMW "Carbon Leather".
This shot here------>
Is after I slapped a small amount on the ashtray lid. But I really want that depth and shine, so i just put some urethane on there and am now awaiting results. Once I get that all nice and coated and sanded I'll throw another pic up on here. But just want to get your guys opinion on this. And keep in mind this is really my first time wrapping anything with anything.
Thanks!

Alright, so after an extensive search of local places to find some epoxy resin, I came up with something. Redid the lid, so hopefully the corners don't stick out as much. Lets take a look......(after they load on photobucket)
Here are the dry looks (the ones that imitate BMW's Carbon Leather)


And here are the fresh coated shots



Now its back to waiting. When the resin dries I'll sand it down a bit and do all that good stuff. I do like the dry look, but I couldn't find anywhere that they put some resin on it to see how it turned out. Thats why im pretty much doing this. I'll post the link for the DIY I found regarding this stuff (as there seems to be some confusion about what the material actually is) here (BMW Forum Carbon Fiber Fabric). Again, thanks for all the feedback, if this was actual carbon fiber, Id totally approach it a different way.
