I had some left over of my adhesive backed carbon fiber sheet that I had, so I came up with this idea to make a cover for my fuse box for it. Process was simple, all I did was trace the fuse box cover onto the bakc of the sheet, cut it out, sanded it smooth and rounded the edges, and stuck it on. I also made a color copy of the top fuse schematic onto regular paper, cut it out, and glued it to the inside of the cover so that way I could still tell which fuses are which. The only thing is, I should've used rubber cement to attach it instead of regular white glue, but I had none on hand. It doesn't make too much of a difference, just would've been better.
Anyway, here's some pics.

It's not fake, its a real CF sheet!
The only other thing I've used it for so far is the 2 accent pieces on my Momo carbon fiber steering wheel. The carbon fiber on it was too brown for my liking, so I overlayed it with this sheet and it looks 10x better.
I'm sure I'll come up with some other uses for it. Not too much I can do with it since its a flat sheet and not flexible.

0opz, haha, sowwy.
it wasn't too long ago you was playing with some CF sticker style stuff on your steering wheel center hub to change the color of the poopy stuff they had.
