that looks great.

Did you use something pre cut or was it all custom done by you

thanks guys. i went to Sage Autosports today and Gary (the owner) was doing his door panels with this stuff. he was looking at my car before to see what it would look good on. we both agreed the center console would look nice. i asked him to do my car next so he said ok. i pulled all the panels off and handed them to him and he went to town putting it on. i could easily have done it myself but i let him do it anyways.

its a fabric that is flexible. looks like a dry carbon fiber. he cut pieces to fit after aligning the weave pattern and then sprayed 3M spray adhesive to the panels and stretched it over the edges then cut the excess.

i'm very pleased with it. my silver paint was severely scratched up and i think this will be a more durable finish. it is also very lightly padded so it also gives it a nice feel.

mine is also very scratched up, Ive contemplated having it painted WB but it would ultimately end up scratched up and looking bad again.

This looks like a great solution!

If you could find out/let us know the product name that would be great. It looks very good.

i'm not sure of the price. i kinda got hooked up with mine since they sponsor my car and i bring them a lot of business. i can ask how much it would be if they could ship you some pieces or buy it in bulk.

order one of those kits and you can do it yourself. i don't think they are very expensive. plus since you will probably have extra, you can do it for other people or just sell it to make your money back.

That looks cool, I've seen it before here on the forum. I thought it was that 3M wrap.
