Somebody, I've got a question for you though. If say after X years of having these CF vinyls and they start to deteriorate and I want to remove them, would the original part where it's been glued on become messed up?

Also, anyone tried doing it on the handrest piece that's on the doors?

Looks like it's reversable

Default dash material

I was wondering how much it would cost for me to get some of the material you used on your dash. it looks great. i love the look it gives it. just the right touch.

FYI....
Unfortunately, my share of the fabric is done!!...no more.
People who have PM'd me already, I'll send you the reply back tonight....I have enough for you guys.

You will have to go to the E90post (same fabric that I've used) / other online stores if you want the fabric from now on.
If I have any left over, I'll let you guys know.
Thanks.

If there was such a thing as a kudos system on this boards, I'd give it to you OP ("Somebody").

Where others would have tried to aggressively profit from everyone (not that it is wrong), you went ahead and generously contributed to the Z community.

Not to sound patronizing, but people like you are the foundation of why these online enthusiast boards are worth a damn.

Kudos to you.

I just got my fabric in and WOW! If you didn't know this was a fabric you would think it was real carbon fiber. Down right amazing.

Can't you just remove the silver ring around the shifter? Post pics of your dilemma

Just FYI.

This CF fabric stuff doesn't scratch or snag on anything. I tore at it fairly hard and absolutely no sign of damage. I don't want no fuzzy dash. The fabric also takes well to Vinylex and Aerospace Protectorant 303, doesn't stain.

This weekend will be interesting.
