i got the fabric from EuroDyne and i'm wrapping it myself for a total of $45 ($35 for fabric, $10 for 3M Super 77 Adhesive) vendors on here offer wrapping services but for $300

, but i can see why they are charging so much cause it's not that easy and takes a lot of time.

I really want to do this but can't find anyone to sell me a set of interior trim. I don't want to take a chance on messing up my current trim set.

i was in the same position as you until i saw THIS thread. so if you're worried about ruining your trim especially you guys leasing, it's totally reversible!

I've been dying to do the same. Anyone know if the texture of the aluminum trim will show through the fabric?

Excitmnt94 · 05-29-2009, 10:28 AM

waiting for pics...should be sweet!

ichiban · 05-29-2009, 11:05 AM

man, i have springs on the way, and 2 yards of cf fabric sitting in my room. Haven't gotten around to it.

SV Concepts III · 05-29-2009, 01:20 PM

Nice, post some pictures of the car with springs and let us know how you like the setup. I'm interested to hear.

Thanks for posting that link, I never saw that thread. I've got a yard of the fabric sitting in my trunk, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to install it because I thought it wasn't reversible.

it most likely will since the glue is pretty strong and it will seep into the dimples and grab onto the fabric but even if you somehow worked around that and got it flush there would be air bubbles and that wouldn't be good.

2 yards is going to be MORE than enough, i got 1 yard and had A LOT of leftovers.
