Ambush has you pretty well covered. For the dash pieces, a 12" width is just a bit small. You're going to need 13" (the very top edge is almost exactly a foot across) at the very least to wrap around the edges.

A half pint of primer 94 is plenty to do the pieces you listed.

As far as other supplies, you'll need:
  • a few cheap foam brushes (I use the 1" width)
  • a mild cleaning agent to prep the parts
  • a felt edged spreader is helpful but optional
  • razor knife and/or scissors

Oh, and if you want to get the vinyl wrapped correctly up by the triple gauges, you'll want to pull them off. I used a metal scraper to gently pry them off from underneath. Then I JB welded them back on afterwards.

Wife and I decided to do an uplift to her 350z interior today, here are the results so far. Carbon fiber is seriously easy to work with, if you take the correct measurements. We are also ordering new sport seats with all carbon fiber lay/glass backing. To look something like this:

Wow!That is some real thin "carbon fiber".
A friend of mine was fond of saying,"if it was easy,everyone would be doing it"!
I guess he was wrong.
Don't stop there.Make an entire car body outta this stuff.
Is this the same stuff they use for Bugatti and Lambo bodies?
