Carbon Fiber Look vs ABS Plastic Trim
Carbon-look film conforms to curves and resists fading, while ABS plastic trim is rigid and can crack in cold or on tight curves. For most door sills and accents, carbon-look film is the safer, better-fitting pick.
Conform vs rigid
Film follows body curves; ABS needs a flat surface and can crack.
Cold-weather behaviour
ABS becomes brittle in freezing weather; film stays flexible.
