Look what I did this last week!!!

For all those that are looking to do the Carbon Fiber look for your dash, I have the solution for you. It is my 8 Page, yes 8 pages of step by step instruction on how to remove the interior piece, door trim, main trim and customize it yourself. this is how mine turned out.
Directions for this Install with pictures is located at the bottom of my post




and after a longs couple of days and fixing this POS main trim that i broke :angry:



i finally got to relax and enjoy what i did


but anyways i have detailed instruction on how to do this step by step with illuustrations, pics, and location of all the clips on the main piece that no one will tell you where they are at. so i hope you guys enjoy this and appreaciate it, it took me almost 2 days to fully write and organize this material for the website. so here ya go. please only 3 users on at a time so be patient if you can't login or download it.

thanks

no the most hardest part was taking off the center piece, most break it if you dont know where all the location of the clips and screws and i broke mine just to make these instructions cause i did not know all of them were at and i show you how not to do it and if you do break it i show you how to fix the piece

but the curves are tight, and hard, if you pull too hard the CF will look out of place and wrong, but all i did was do it normally and then allow the flaps and then slice them and fold of the extra piece

it looks clean, ask klepto, he's seen it in person, im redoing it soon in real .03mm CF from Hayame from Japan so hopefully that will make a better show presentation

dont pay someone, just tkae your time and be patient

it will work, my instructions show you EXACTLY where everything is so you cant mess up like i did, mostly a lot of the peps that did theres painted used my instructions or read them in some way to help them out

its not that hard, on a 1-10 rating i give it about a 6/7


projector conversions are another story
