My favorite is SMS.

Studio27 is nice, but I don't think it's the best.

Usually I recommend Scaleracecars.com but I think the owner has fallen off the face of the earth?

Re: Best carbon fiber?

SMS's Hi-def decals look just beautiful. They are practically black until you see them in just the right light, a lot like 1:1 CF used in tuner applications. There was a full CF Enzo that came through here that was with the Hi-def decals, and it looked incredible under clear! I think this will be what you're looking for, they're a definate improvement over SMS's old style of decals with their copious weave. I am going to use some on a tuner car this week, and will let you know how they really look, and confirm my conjecture.

Re: Best carbon fiber?

Thanks for the link.To me the studio 27 and Tamiya have the nicest weave,they appear to have depth, if that makes sense?Perhaps the new SMS will indeed look convincing.
