CF Wrap Dashboard
Some quick pics...
This is NOT vinyl... It's like a carbon fiber weave pattern on a T-shirt... It's breathable, flexible... and applied using 3M Spray Adhesive... The supplier used to stock black, charcoal, titanium, and silver... but they only have black now. =|
Why? Because it looks kinda cool and I spilled some corrosive chemicals all over my dashboard so it ate away at most of it.

In for later
That cover over the passenger side airbag will cause the air bag to explode with more pressure than it is designed to do. This could seriously injure your passenger. The vinyl should have split in it down the middle where the original cover was made to swing open.
That stuff looks really nice. Pretty impressive workmanship.

Looks great!
Can you post more pictures? Specifically, I would like to see the parking brake area. How easy was it to firm to curves?
Lastly, a link to the material? How much did you need?

I kinda messed up the parking brake area... haha As for the material... It's a 'cloth' so it conforms as easily as a t-shirt.
I think 3/4 of a yard should suffice.... 1 yard is plenty if you make a mistake (extra)
I know there's a lot on controversy with this company.... heh. I live about 15 minutes away from them so I don't have to deal w/ email/phone 'support'
