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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
