not everywhere. stereo panel, interior door handles, etc. little things
You mean the stereo surround??? How are you going to make it stick for one, then conform to the shape and what not?- by putting cuts in the film? Think Im going to have to sound the rice alarm on this one? Its going to look like checkerboard tape in my opinion. I dont even see the attraction with carbon fiber anyhow?

Just prep and paint the interior parts to match existing colors. Once you get the surface smooth and apply the finish its comes out looking sharp

Ill post some pics soon if you're interested.

Hell yes. Exactly like that, although im no longer a self titled "pioneer" of the smoothed out interior trim, that is exactly what im talking about. I've done a little more than just the center console and shift boot retainer, I hope i wont be sorry.



It will, however, look far better than some carbon fiber sticky rice ****, Ive done enough rice w/ my wing



How is it holding up? I hear you dont drive much. Is it automotive finish

or other?
