Tamiya's Ferrari F40, carbon fiber decals?

I know this is an old kit, a search did not find any threads, so here goes.....

Has anyone built the Tamiya Ferrari F40, using aftermarket carbon-fiber decals?  The real car pioneered c-f, some is yellow weave, some is not as black as most decals available. I built the Fujimi last century, tried painting the seat backs.  :wacko:

I'm in the process of building a Tamiya F40. Looking through all my reference pictures I know what you're talking about. What I did is pick up some Scale Motorsports Clear carbon fiber decal sheets. They have a carbon fiber pattern and the negative space is whatever color you paint the part. Then you just paint the parts different shades of yellow or grey and apply the carbon fiber pattern with the decals.
