Dash panels wrapped
Wrapped my dash panels and a couple other pieces with carbon fiber style vinyl. It's not perfect, need to redo window switches...Big upgrade IMO from the base panels.
Yes my shift boot is missing as I ordered a alacantra/suede boot to go with the boss wheel. It was a pain to remove the boot without breaking tabs.

thanks for the compliments, only cost $23 shipped for the carbon wrap! I sprayed the panels with a good even coat of plasti dip before wrapping so in the future, if/when i want to remove or redo it, i will have zero adhesive residue. Good idea IMO

The install wasn't too bad, i don't drive my car everyday, so after work I removed interior pieces carefully, a few a night while i waited for the delivery.
This is the first time ive used vinyl. I had to redo a piece or two, and some of my originally selected pieces i deemed un-wrappable. the whole time i felt like i was doing a ****ty job, but as long as you adhere the edges and stretch the corners just enough, once the pieces are installed it looks good.
Pulling switches from pieces was the hardest. Trying to avoid breaking tabs and what not.
