Just finished the steering wheel to go with the dash and downtubes. I guess I'll have to do the doors...

 

damn dude that hot!

 

Looks great!!

 

Amazing! Wanna come to MN and help me do mine?

 

Nice going drphil ! Really looks hot.

 

Anyone done their A panels yet ?

 

wow looks soo sickk!! im gonna do my dash soon with this stuff. so whats the cheapest place to get this vinyl at?

drphil... leds in your footwells would set it off for sure! great job, it looks amazing!

 

Thanks!
It looks way better in person. The real problem is using it without overdoing it. Now that I look at the photo, the big speedo is really a problem--there's nothing to do about it other than maybe a black dial face. You need a few highlights just so it doesn't become all black and too dark.
It certainly makes the stock MFSW look a lot classier! Still feels the same, though
Haven't seen anyone do the A pillars. I have "wet" CF on the exterior and dry look CF vinyl on the interior. My rear seat delete panel is the same material, and I'm thinking of doing the backs of the Sparcos.
I know of a few suppliers, PM me to get the links.

 

vedddy nice indeed!

 

Where might I ask did you get that cupholder?

 

Just to verify, you used the "fabric" CF on the interior ( using a spray adhesive or something ) and the "vinyl" CF ( self sticking ) on exterior??? Thanks,
looks GREAT!!!

 

No, I'm using real (wet) CF on all exterior parts (scoop, headlight rings, door handles, gas cap--in progress) and dry-look CF vinyl on the interior.
I call real CF wet because it's in a matrix of epoxy that looks wet and deep, whereas the 3M NiDoc vinyl, although with a nice look, is very 2-dimensional, and clearly not the real thing.

Many people are using the 3M product on the exterior of the car, like a wrap, and I can imagine it will last just fine. But it also has a great look on the interior and seems to match the vinyl on the upper dash--for example--because it's matte and not glossy.
I'm using real CF on the exterior because it's shiny and seems to match the paint well (at least in my opinion.) If I put the dry NiDoc vinyl on the exterior, I'd be adding yet another texture, and it would look a little "busy."

Anyway, that's my aesthetic.

And, the cup holder? No longer made--the company went out of business a few years back. Sorry.

 

OMG. I'm in love with that interior. Once I can afford that amount of vinyl, I'm doing just that + the rings.

 

I've been using the 3M DiNOC on my S60R for some time now. I love that stuff! The look and feel is closest to the real CF than anything else I've seen. And it's so easy to use!

When I get my MINI I'm definitely following your lead.

 

How about the exterior "A - Panels" where the side skuttles are.

I have been using the Di-Noc stuff for a while now, small and large pieces, and I think I should be able to do them while still attached to the MINI.. they can be a real pain to remove.

 

I did see a post of a Mini with quite a bit of DiNOC on the exterior--(I think it might have been Lyle's work)--including the A pillars.
I'll search for it.

 

where abouts are u getting this dry wrap, and are u having to spray the adhesive your self

 

 

Looks great! Would (could) it affect steering wheel airbag ?

 

I checked with the dealer techs and they approved--the airbag will work as designed. Not that I ever want to find out...

 

Definantly do the Sparco backs with the "wet" stuff. It would look really good. Maybe use the dry then hit it with rattle-can clear. I think the real CF race seats are clear coated. Ya gotta fool the boy racers and car show crowd.

 

Dr. Phil where did you get that shifter boot?

 

The boot is the Hyundai Tiburon boot, but I don't think it's still available, but you should check. You can also use an Audi TT boot with modification.

 

I just ordered the shift boot from here: Boot. It should be here by the end of the week. I'll post some pics when it gets done.

I've got a question for Dr. Phil.... How did you wrap that silver trim ring around the airbag??? Did you do it while it was on the airbag or did you remove the ring and do it separately?

 

where did you get your CF from?
