Thanks! I need to get some good pictures up, it is quite nice looking in person and really accents the center spine...

No problem! Gotta give props where they are deserved. I think the only pictures I saw were when the whole thing was still out but all I know is it is definately on my to-do list.

One of the cheapest mods I have done, and one of my favorite, even people in the car rarely notice, but when they do, they are blown away. Maybe I will make it out there tonight and snap a picture or two...

Here's 2 nice systems to check out...

Neffy Wrap - reportedly better than the 3M Di-Noc

And the more permanent Hydrographics

Thanks for the link syfi , how much would you need to wrap all the interior trim (dash , center console , arm rest area, storage area lid and air vents)
They sell by the yard so I would assume maybe only one yard ?

I have always had good luck with Rvinyl products. The CF wrap I did on my daughters Eclipse OZ has been there since I had the car about 6 years ago and still looks pretty good. It has a bubble on a recess here and there as Max said, but took 4 years or so to get there and not really noticeable. Good luck on it. When I get to my interior will probably stick to hard kit or just paint and be done. Hope this helped.

Hydrographics are great, but very pricey compared to gluing some vinyl down. I have my windshield done in HG and they look pretty good...

syfi,

I actually used the Neffywrap first. It is a somewhat thick fabric with a very thin, flexible rubbery CF patterned layer bonded to it.

I should underline THICK. I was totally unsuitable for the interior job and I only found that out when I went to reassemble my interior.

That was strike one.

DiNoc was strike two. Both are a PITA to install and even the .006" thick DiNoc was too much for the switches and stuff.

So, that's where the decision to paint came from-long hours, hard work and utter failure.

JMHO, you unnerstand?

I kinda wondered about the thickness after looking at the picture of it on the Solstice roof. Looking through their gallery shows that they use it mainly on large flat areas but never around buttons. PITA its a hassle to work with. It looks like some nice patterns. Thanx for the headsup, Max.
I may still try some of the silver CF Neffy around the door pulls to replace the cracking plastic covers. May make them a little "Cushy"!

If doing the whole dash, I'd get 2 yds and cover what you can. You're better off with more left over than coming up short. If enough is left you could do the air cleaner, or maybe some neat CF slasher stripes!
