Ben, now that your dash is CF, how much does it weigh now?

 

good job, but i would have made the b-pillar weave direction the same and drivers side do this (front of car //// rear of car)

and passenger side do this (rear of car \\\\\ front of car)

-J

 

looks real nice, I was thinking about wrapping them with cf and epoxy but that would be a much more involved process, I'll have to look into this

 

I already told you how much I hate you.


Ahh I was gonna do this, too. I forgot.

 

Looks good Ben. I need to do my door handles.

 

That looks really good. I'd love to do this to my own car, but I'll wait and see how durable this stuff is under Sun/UV and rain exposure. It's good to know that the curvature of the doors is too much for the fabric to adhere to while being stretched taught across the surface. Gives me an idea of what's practical for coverage. Can't wait to read about your long-term results.

i need to find some time to do mine up as well. was thinking about protecting it with scotchgard since it basically is fabric.

 

Spork have you ever done anything like this before??? Im just wondering if Its possible for me to "F" it up since I have never done anything even remotely close to something like this.

 

Nicely done

 

all the wrapped pieces look clean. great work.

 

looks good! pieces look great on photo as far as i can tell, but do they look better in person or does it look flat like a sticker? cant wait for long term reviews

 

Looks better than I thought it would, good job. Maybe on some of the larger parts that you're having problems with you can use a 3m adhesive promotor to get that extra hold that you'll need.

 

Very nice!

 

Thanks again guys!

I'm quite the handyman, but even for a novice this is relatively straightforward and easy. The 3M Super 77 is forgiving. It takes about 30 seconds or so to get a good tack going, so you have some time to stretch and form the fabric. If you mess it up, peel the fabric off, respray the glue, and try again.

Thank you. I thought about the promoter, but I imagine it'd end up the same with the glue, as it isn't the strongest stuff in the world.

I let my car sit in the sun today for a few hours to see if any places lifted up. The a-pillars did a little on the part where the fabric is stretched near the bottom. I'll be taking a trip tomorrow to find some brush-on adhesive that will keep that fabric stuck.

 

Nice job dude.

Are you gonna do the entire center console past the shift ****? I think that
would be a nice way to tie everything together.

Subscribed for updates as well..

 

Can this be clearcoated?

 

i wrapped some of my interior panels on monday. it was a pretty straight forward process. make sure you have a sharp razor to trim the excess fabric. i did the top of the gauge cluster and lost one of the screws in the cluster as well. the toughest part for me was when i wrapped the shifter panel. it was a pain in the **** to get the circles around the hvac to look clean and the way i wanted them.

 

I don't know yet. I thought about it, but my entire center console behidn the shifter is still in pretty good shape, so I don't think I'll mess with it.


Clear coat on the fabric? No. If you want to pour resin over it to get a hard, glossy surface, you'd be better off buying some real carbon fiber sheeting for that as the fabric didn't like the resin I used for the test piece.


I know what you mean. I ended up cutting up a pop can and using three strips cut from it to slide the hvac controls in and keep the fabric tucked behind.

 

I did mine recently with some cheaper stuff but it looks just like this.. was a PIA especially getting the door to open and shut.

 

Nice Spork.
