welp, did mine today.
the curves turned out to be quite the pain in the ****.
came out great though.






any shiny spots are just sweaty finger prints, it was about 95 degrees outside.

thoughts?

 

For a DIY you did a teriffic job, congrats, looks pretty good, probably cost a whole lot less than my JCW one

 

I think that it looks fabulous. Kind of makes me want to do mine. I'll have to add that to my Mod Contemplation list. How did you do it?

 

neffywrap.com, got 2sq yards.

got 3M spray glue (90 grade) and went at it.
im planning to do my downtubes soon.

 

Incredible

My 1-piece dash might have to get this treatment

 

fwiw, i prefer this dry look over the wet/glossy JCW dash.

 

Looking good!!

 

here's a detail of one of the tough spots.




i'm contemplating doing the horn area and silver ring on my 2 spoke steering wheel. i need to find instructions to disassemble it though.

 

Me likey!! Great job! I can see myself getting carried away with this stuff.........

 

Very Cool and awesome work.

It is weather proof as well, so exterior A panels are an option too.

 

i've heard its worked well as a seat on a daily driven motorcycle that is parked in sun showers, and florida sun.

i've been looking into a proper exterior dry carbon with adhesive backing.
i found it- just need to find out where to get smaller than wholesale orders.
i'll keep you guys updated. i plan/want to cap my roof with it.

 

Saw a whole MINI roof black plasti-dipped once...but this stuff ?
Great Idea, I gotta see that ?

Too bad company says their cf stuff is all back ordered right now. :(

 

email them- they'll refer you to one of their distributors.

i want to replicate this:

with dry carbon, and a sunroof.

similar to:

 

jbell:
That's a cool look, and I happen to have 3 yds of carbon fabric in my garage...
Is there a how to on removing the 3-piece dash? A quick search only revealed removal of the older 5-piece dash, which works totally differently to the 3-piece (removing the upper padded dash is out of the question on the later models...)

TIA.

 

thanks.
afaik, for the 3-piece... you do not need to remove the dash top to remove the silver parts. everything unclips and there are two torx screws on the speedo cluster.

 

^^Yup

As with most stuff on the interior, a good tug will pretty much do the job.

jbell, Im curious as to how you did the air vents.

 

trial and error, wasted one vent shaped piece about 8"x8". Basically you make a K shaped cut started at the upper corner where the vent is NOT the deepest. gotta make sure you don't cut where it wraps onto the deeper lip parts.

in the end, it took 16 fingers jammed in there (no tumbs) to just hold it stretched in place. not that big of a deal.

its the biggest stretch. its been 36 hours now, spent a good day in the 90 degree sun. jet black car... had to be 120 inside it.
seems to be holding great.
if it slips, i'll just line that area with another piece of fabric, and not do the stretch. a small piece of black suede would look nice inside the curve there.

 

i got my roof done wif 3m carbon fibre film from japan

 

So the vents are a separate piece of fabric. I was curious cause I couldnt figure out another way of doing it, but I didnt see any seams.

 

no. right now its just one piece for each of the 5 pieces.

 

any more photos?

 

Yeh, that CF roof looks pretty fancy. That's a big job, with great potential to effup. Still, glory goes to those who risk it all!

 

OK I see. I guess since the 5 piece has the air vents on separate panels, it wouldnt be so bad to do it that way.

I have a custom 1 piece dash tho so I might just have to leave them black in there or use a separate piece of fabric.

 

wow guys... everyone's looks fantastic!

 

it would be the same process, just don't cut the vent separate.
shouldn't be any harder to pull it off.
