All of them are good i think but this is the one i used. Also a lot of people say 3M's is better but i think this turned out really well

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0059XCVVO/ You'll also need a sharp razor to trim it neatly. I'm assuming you have one on hand, if not just get one of those too.

Click on the amazon link. They have leather thats not snake skin too.

Carbon fiber

It's actually the backplate that came with the phone, I just bought a roll of carbon fiber vinyl, applied it with the help of a space heater, and then "trimmed" the edges, which was almost more like shaving off the excess. Worked way better then I expected TBH.

I cut mine from this wrap that I had lying around.

After seeing what /u/SgtDwightSchrute1 built the other day, I wanted to give it a go as well! I took most of the parts he used and linked in his thread, but I went with a few more switches as well as a set of POV buttons that have a mode switch to switch them from POV directions to an X-Y axis. The Green button is for the POV mode, and I also moved the Mode LED to the face of the box so you can tell what mode it is in.

I also added some vinyl carbon fiber wrap to give it a nice finish!

The LED is a 5mm Green 18mcd with a holder I had around, but any LED would work, just don't go super bright!

These are the steps that I took

1. Sand the board and apply a thin finish on the bare wood.
   
   
2. I got some carbon fiber wrap of amazon for $7ish and applied that to the deck, trimming off the excess that was hanging off the edges.
   
   
3. Taped the whole board with masking tape
   
   
4. I used a website called blockposters.com (http://www.blockposters.com/) to print out the logo onto multiple pieces of paper so i could get the correct size I wanted.
   
   
5. After taping the logo on, I used a raser to cut out the logo, going through all 3 layers down to the bare board.
   
   
6. Now that I had the logo cut out of the carbon fiber with the tape covering it I used a flat white spray primer to prepare the areas of paint
   
   
7. After the primer was dry I applied the blue paint in a couple light coats to ensure it sprayed on evenly
   
   
8. When that was dry I removed the masking tape off of the whole thing and sprayed on a couple coats of a glossy clear coat.
   
   
9. For the trucks I just lightly sanded them and applied the paint with a clear coat

Enjoy!

Here's a lookalike I made of a carbon fiber side table out of this stuff and some mdf. Probably cost me $15 total.

amazon i just got a vynil wrap thing they use for cars and yes I did cut it to size https://imgur.com/QHQy5AU

Edit: [heres the link to which one i got] (http://www.amazon.com/SimCarbon-Carbon-Fiber-Vinyl-BLACK/dp/B0059XCVVO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1458465806&sr=8-3&keywords=carbon+fiber)

Really nice work!

It's probably a bit easier to use a vinyl wrap or a gun grip. You can find cheap carbon fiber textured vinyl wrap and gun grip on Amazon. I'd recommend gun grip as it's designed to be held with sweaty hands.

You could buy black plastic plates and use something like this to make them look like they're made from carbon fiber.

The one that I bought is currently unavailable on amazon. But I did have some difficulty with application. Id rate the product 7/10. That or I just suck at using it.

Buy whatever has the best and most reviews on amazon.
