Hopefully some of the guys who bought materials from me will post up their pictures, if they ever get around to getting some.

If you guys need any materials, like the 3M CF, I have the best pricing there is on it

Sweet. Btw I recommend the cf wrap to anyone. vinyl is very user friendly. Just helped my brother cover his bezel around the radio and a/c of his sti. Looks flawless and factory. And Don I am getting ready to do a matte black roof. Is this something two amateurs with a lil experience could make look nice. Any tips? Oh and I have a 350z

If you can do the interior, you can probably do the roof. Let me know if you're interested in some materials.

I would definitely be interested in any materials that would make the job that much easier. I already have a squeegee and heat (via bow dryer) lol and x-acto knife

CJohnson,

Do you already have the CF vinyl itself?

Don, let me know if you can use the CF vinyl material to wrap a few interior pieces like the center console.

Two more quick pictures for you guys, just so you can see what gloss black on a white car would have looked like, in comparison to that cf.

Cool. Let me know when you're ready to order some materials, and I'll give you a good price on it

The materials I sell are the exact same one that I use.

I always say, if you want 100% gloss black, go with paint. Vinyl will get you 90% of the way there, but it'll never be 100% as good as paint. The main benefit of vinyl is that it's very good for what it is, cheaper to do, and is completely reversible.
