You have Robb M. from Internet Boards to thank for that....

 

looks good.. i was going to do this too.. but i didnt kno how to remove the dash pieces..

 

the door trim is look great...

 

Here's what it looks like in my car;

 

any downtube or door trim for sale?

 

I also have this done on my door panels and it looks really nice, pictures are in my profile

 

i ordered the 3m stuff last week to do this as well. any tips from the guys who have done it? I've never worked with vinyl before, so any tips (no matter how small) will be appreciated. Also, is the dash just tug and it comes off? i know hot to remove the downtubes, but thats about it.

 

The dash is not to hard to remove but you will need to take some screws out, be carefull with the airbag part as you dont want to break the clips.
There is a good thread here someplace with pictures.
good luck and take some pictures when you are done

 

Hey Gray Raven,
Nice job! Have you experimented with putting a clear coat over the stuff at all? I'm just wondering if it would work and, if so, how it would look...

 

He to all the member we now have this dry carbon in canada..send me a email and i will give you the link to >>BUY IT<<..Nice job on the dash..and trimm
i will do my roof this week ..picture to come...

 

What prices are we looking at if we want enough to do the dash board + downtubs? Also is the door panel removable? I'd like to do the door panels too.

 

The door panels are removeable but you dont need to do that with the dry carbon wrap, The guy who did mine left them on the car and did them in less then an hour. I would want this done in the warmer weather or in a warm garage so you can get a good tight fit

 

BTW Dr. Phil, I love that shift boot, but I could never find it since reading the DIY.

So essentially, how much carbon fiber wrap do you need? And what's the cost of something like this? Looks like a REAL nice DIY project that I want to do. I hate my anthracite dash and door panels. It's the top of my dislike list.

 

i just bought some (to do dash, and the downtubes twice, as i was told i might mess up on those since I've never done any vinyl work before) and it ran me ~$150 shipped)

 

Is there any reasons I should buy the expensive stuff opposed to the $60 or $70 3M stuff I can buy from eBay? Quality issues?

 

MrCooperS:
I think the stuff is about $10 a square foot in reasonable quantities. The dash didn't take all that much, maybe 4.5ft wide by 1 foot deep. So it should cost about $60.
I bought quite a bit of the stuff, and might do the doors in spring. I was also thinking of doing the Sparco seat backs. I decided against using on the exterior only because all my exterior CF is real, and it looks quite different (nice, but not the same.) So I have real CF on the outside and vinyl CF on the interior.
Also, if it's 3M it's real, regardless of the price. PM me for a supplier.

 

Did my 3 spoke MFSW spokes in this........smart.
Use a hot air gun rathger than a hairdryer when forming it though otherwise it will revert back to flat on a hot day !!

 

Hey Chris,
I've been wondering how this might look on a steering wheel. Can youplease post some pix?

 

just did this last night, and while its not perfect, unless you look at it very close, you wouldn't know i messed up really. It was my first attempt ever with vinyl, and i ended up doing 2 of the 5 dash pieces and 2 down tubes perfect (the last 2 i did, because i found out applying constant heat while working this stuff makes it like super stretchy cloth, and makes it much easier to work with) but for ~$60-80 worth of material, its well worth it in my book. Didn't mess up on the down tubes either (or nothing thats visible at least)

 

Soccerbum, how 'bout some Pics? Did you do the steering wheel?

 

no, i didnt, i might though., but here are some pics.
sorry, the photos are large, but it gives good detail :P

 

Man, that's solid! You ought to go ahead and do that cup holder...

 

REALLY looks good!

 

just did the steering wheel for ya, ill get pictures in the morning if i remember. Not too hard, much easier than the dash to do.

 

Cool! I'm looking forward to seeing them.
