something i did last night :D

Got my CF Fabric wrap yesterday.

Bought some 3M Super 77 Spray adhesive and a hobby tool blade cutter to do the job.

Did the three easiest trim which is the top and 2 door trim, will have to do the center console at a later date since you need to bloody take off the whole panel apart!

It was actually quite easy to do I was quite surprised - just need some patience to do it. First one took me like an hour and a bit and by the time i got to the third one only took me 15-20 minutes to do.

Only took picture of two of the trims as I forgot to take the last one - will take pictures of my interior once I have done all the trim

ps. my ER goodies has arrived

Thanks mate, I actually got this second hand and the original owner sold me the left over (he bought 2 yards and had 1 yards left). I am pretty sure he got it from PYSpeed though.

http://www.pyspeed.com/Carbon-Fiber-...-p/rd-8001.htm

I assume the matte black one.

Yeah not sure how well it will turn out with your trim - I got the grey poplar trim ( I think that is what it is called).

Also I think I will only use half a yard to wrap all my interior trim - I can't see myself using all of it!

When you say ground mounted geto blaster - did you mean my feet massage?

Needed the rice bites to keep me awake! started at 11 PM got hooked and didnt finish till 2 AM was very hungry haha...

Was tempted to do the center console but that would have taken me all night to do so decided not too maybe tonight...

I have the silver bumpy stuff too - can't be wrapped via regular means however you can 'glue' it down... it won't look good though.

Finally finished the center console section... what a fucking pain in the arse that was!!!

I broke all the clips on the ashtray cover while trying to get it back on, I had to glue it back together and as a result now it doesn't open by itself unless I push it down

The only thing I still need is some cable ties to re-tie my hand brake leather - the only one I've got are way too small.

Anyway I think it really looks great - definitely an improvement over the old trim.

Here are some photos I quickly took with my iphone

Looks great. I want to do this as the sun beams right off my silver dash piece in the daylight and it seriously shits me. They may as well have put a bloody mirror there it's that blinding.

Buy all new clips and do it right. End result looks good!

Another bleeder :-(
