My 1st mod.. maybe?
I dont know if it counts as a mod. But I wrapped 1/2 my dash board last night with 3M carbon fiber vinyl. Wrapping the corners was tough but for a 1st-timer, I dont think it's too shabby.
Let me know what you guys think.
P.S. I only did one side because it was really late & I just couldn't wait to do at least one piece. haha
Hopefully, I have some time to do the driver side tonight after work.

I'm not too sure about the CD/HVAC area. You dont think it's too much carbon fiber in one area?

Let us know how this holds up over the next couple weeks with the temperature fluctuations. I did this same thing to my dash inserts and loved the results- they looked awesome for the first week, and then the vinyl started lifting all around the edges. Wound up looking really poorly done after just a couple weeks, so I pulled it all off.

I believe that due to the very curved egdes and corners, that just plainly applying the vinyl will not suffice. The heat didn't help either. So I purchased the 3M primer 94 that Lyle suggested and reapplied a new piece.
4 months later, it's holding up like a beauty. Looks professionally done. When installing, you should reserve a good amount of time so that you can focus and put more attention towards the application. Remember to be patient while applying, it is a delicate process. It'll be much more worth it when you see the difference in the result.
