Default My carbon fibre wrap DIY interior
Hi all, just wanted to show my tasteful carbon fibre wrapping on some of my interior parts. I think the carbon look really matches with the WRX colour scheme, almost looks like it could've been standard,my first attempt at wrapping.
what do you think?

Looks good, just 1 small attention to detail though, the weave on the clock pod runs in the other direction to the radio surround

Looks good

Is that the one that's the material and not the vinyl?
I got a bit of the material one in my car from Ebay. Its sticky on the back.

I got the material from here: http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/carboncent...:X:RTQ:GB:1181
You can feel the material as its not vinyl.

Did you fit whilst everything was still bolted on or did you have to dismantle it to place the carbon?

One last question, I've seen in another thread that double din you have are too big and don't fit, how did you fit yours or does it just fit and the other thread is talking rubbish?

Looks like you've done a good job there! FAR better than what someone had done with the exterior of a Lambo at Snetterton a few months back, it was covered in bubbles!

How easy was it to remove the centre dash part? The paint's coming off mine and I quite fancy a matt black one

Cheers mate, ref centre I just got a flat head under the front corner just enough to get fingers underneath to gently start teasing it up all around, hope this helps? 
