Its not FABRIC! its really thin vinyl stick to fabric.
I bet they make tons of money selling this. Really dont think its worth $35 per yard.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING CENTER PIECE.
Middle buttons(defrost, AC, vent) get stock. I had to loosen the screw to made it fit. Also its PIA to do it on uneven surface and if you stretch, it makes stretch marks so you cant really stretch too much.

Used 3m Super 77 sprayer from home depot($9.99)
Going to do shifter piece next. Also planning to do door but how do i take out just top piece of door? (looks like door panel is in 3 piece put together. Top piece, center(cloth) piece, and bottom piece(speakers).

=( cheapest cd/mp3 player with aux i could find local(39.99)
Hey its ugly but it works!

Nice. I might do my dash trim and maybe some motorcycle parts, too. Thanks for the idea.

Just finished shifter console.
It was fairly easy but that plug gave me trouble. Had to make seperate piece to fit.

^looks nice. do you think if you put a clear coat over it it would look more like your stock trim or a wet carbon fiber

+1 what does everyone think about adding clear coat? not just for the glossy look, but as to protect the piece as well.

Cant wait till i get my gruppe-s gauge center console to get here so i can wrap that too.
Came out nice and feels nice too. Maybe i'll try to put some clear coat on when I spray my CF hood. Used less than 1/4 to made all that pieces.
This wrap is better looking CF than crappy plastic piece that came with the car
