Surely it looks nothing like carbon? Isn't it just black and silver checkers like any cheap old plastic part with "carbon look"?
I remember I got the Irmscher carbon interior parts for my Corsa B, but couldn't get my self to fit them as they just looked so shit with that horrible pattern.

Fairly certain it has been used on car parts for decades.
Stuff like imitated wood etc. is likely done this way. It's a pretty straight forward method of printing patterns on complex surfaces.

Got to say, that does look much better than I'd have thought. That gun stock looks fairly genuine.

So where do we sign up?
Would be good to get a Group Buy set up, say if someone could do it at home with different patterns etc

Subtlety makes it look more genuine I think.
