That looks awesome mate, well done! Any chance of a quick how-to? I might give it a go sometime.

Nope, I got it from a relative that lives in the US. It took 10 days for him to post it to me

I tried to get the gear boot surround out today, but I couldn't unplug the ciggy lighter, i even pulled as hard as I could but it wouldn't come apart. Can anyone help? lol

[Basti]

i had the same problem with mine charles. i think i ended p breaking it by accident.

guys i had a look at charles's b pilllar today, and you can feel the weave. it looks sexy

[Charles89]

Well, since I couldn't take out my gear boot surround, I just did other bits and pieces.

Here's my air-con vents

My climate control is next

[Charles89]

You guys are gonna love this. I wrapped my climate control unit, it looks AWESOME!

if your gonna do doors inners, then just get real carbon ones

put you should try to put a layer of clear over one of your parts to see if it actually turns out like real carbon, would make it look 100x better imo

For me, I'd prefer my interior in satin than gloss. Yeah, it might look real and all, but I don't wanna get glare from the sun off the gloss

bahaha, you bastard, that looks soo awesome.

PS, with the cig lighter, just pull harder lol, itll come out eventually, there are some small bumps moulded into the shape of the plastic part, i ended up damaging mine a little so if i put anything into the lighter socket and then go to take it out, the socket wants to come out with it lol

You mean carbon door inserts (if so from where, i've never seen them), or do you mean carbon door skins? I think comparing a few bucks worth of vinyl to cover the factory carpet door inserts to $1000+ for full door skins is a bit of a stretch...

Looks great. Does it stick when you apply heat with the heat gun?

[75coupe]

it kinda looks like wallpaper without the real carbon gloss look...

doesnt look too bad but Id like too see what happens after a few months, especially if it gets parked in the sun a few times on hot days...

What do you mean stick? It does stick to whatever I'm applying on, if I use heat

Well, if I want, I can just spray a coat of clear over the top, but like I've said before, I'd rather a satin finish in my interior.

The 3M stuff should endure the hot weather, but I'll keep you guys updated

Also, a coat of clear should make the vinyl more durable, but it doesn't really bother me
