I would have thought ebay. I would not use halfaurds as that costs a fortune from there.

How much you after?

How about using some real carbon. Just use real thin stuff and it will be flexible.

there is a difference in quality with vinyl wrap, if your doing small flat surfaces it ain't a problem using the cheap stuff, but if your doing something tricky or large panels, i'd suggest getting the best quality you can afford, the good stuff makes it very easy to work out the bubbles, i might give this stuff a try.
i think the industry standard is the 3m nyloc. very expensive tho. the problem is theres so many sellers and all their adverts are worded differently, you could end up paying more for a standard vinyl.... :roll:
i've used these guys before and there pretty good...

i might try some of this 4d stuff in the near future....

That's not good. You would think they would be pleased for a bit of customer feedback so they can improve the product not to mention reputation. 8O
