I'm inspired, did you cut it prior to attaching or while on the part? I may order the silver color to match the car, looks good.
I layed it down first using a heat gun and then cut it. After I cut it I heated it up again and ran a credit card thru the crack to get the vinyl to curve into the crack.

before you take it off if you don't like it can you ppppllleeeaaassseeee do me a favor? get a can of clear coat and spay it. I hear it makes it look like the wet CF. Like a new CF hood.
That's a good idea.

I just did most of my interior and personally I love it...only problem I found is that in the heat when the car is outside in the sun any parts I had to stretch the vinyl a bit to get in to the grooves.. like on the air vents... It started to bubble...I just gotta make sure not to pull it so tight...
Looks like a lot of work.I wish I had half the talent you guys possess.

Though I'm not really into the "carbon fiber craze", I'm impressed with the workmanship. Nice job!

I'm more of a brushed aluminum and alcantara guy, but that looks great!
I'm looking into doing an alcantara dashboard. I can sew and have a machine, so I think I could pull it off.
