I think it looks pretty cool. How hard was this stuff to work with?

Easy and hard. I had to pay constant attention to the weave, to make sure it didn't stretch too much.

it would weigh like 8 lbs if it were real CF. I think it looks pretty good. Are those MR rims on that s2000?

I agree, finish thise stock holes, a little effort would go a long way on that issue.

Keep it up

I want to see the underside of the hood and trunk as well.. I want to see what it looked like after your wrapped it into it.

Love the fabric. Hate the vinyl sticker style.

It's just wrapped around the edges, like you can probably easily imagine it does. It's nothing special on the undersides. It's very apparent/obvious that it's vinyl.

There is probably no vinyl wrapped car out there, that most people can't go up and figure out that it's not painted/etc or if it is vinyl wrapped.
