does the fabric accept any interior shine product, so it can be darker and shiner?

The shifter ring is nothing. Trying to wrap the black main piece was a pain. You really need to pull and stretch the material. It was not easy at all.

Hmm... I wouldn't have thought that at all. Was it the curve going up towards the A/C controls that was giving you the problem? That's the only place I would think there would be any kind of issue

Why would you want to make this product "shinier?" Its already shiny as hell. Keep it simple and clean it with a damp cloth and it'll be fine IMHO.

Anyone know of a retail store that sells 3m super 77?

Wraping the sides as the piece curves up is what drove me nuts. I wouldn't want to do it again.

Is there a specific way to lay it down in order for the weave to match ? Did you lay it down diagonally?
