Default CF Vinyl

I was hoping someone could recommend a carbon fiber vinyl that most closely matches the factory Jaguar pieces. I'd like to wrap my lower front spoiler, but would like it to match the wing and mirror covers. I know there are several brands, weave patterns, and colors, but don't know where to start. Thanks!

Ive purchased 5 different types - 2 different models of vvivid included. Funny enough, I found some inexpensive 5d carbon vinyl on eBay which was the closest match but even that looked nothing like the real thing. I also have the carbon vents, hood louvres, mirror caps, and blade wheels. I fabricated a carbon surround for my p7 grille and purchased the koshi carbon pieces for the front end. More expensive but way better looking than vinyl.

pictures of what? I did not take photos of all the vinyl, I used some of the remaining film on the garage door opener trim but the rest was not even close to the real thing. As far the koshi pieces, they have a website but they do match the factory pieces well - there is a photo with some of the interior and **** of their splitter with my carbon p7 grill surround. my lower splitter came with the center seam not centered and have been waiting four weeks for a response.

I meant the Koshi parts you have. That seam would also drive me crazy
