No More Wood

I really don't like the wood on charcoal look and since I can't get real aluminium or real carbon fiber anywhere.......I decided that fake carbon fiber looks better than fake wood.



Look........

sorry for the poor quality.....

That looks great. How did you manage to get the pieces off or did you just sticker over them on the car?

Wow, looks suprisingly different. The grey on grey really does make a much more clean look. Did you stick it over the peices while they were still mounted? Good job, no wrinkles.

Maybe a grey/silverish vinyl wouln't be so bad after all...

They are stickers and I did remove the wood pieces.

The finish is very glossy and they look better that I thought they would.

NO wrinkles......as you apply the stickers, you use a heatgun and then stretch & wrap them around curves and such.

Not too hard either.

It's made by Folia Tec and I ordered it from Ultra Performace.....it was in an ad in SportCompactCar.



BTW.....the reason the top half of the dash is black, is b/c I dyed it.....the grey or charcoal is the original color
