Got my silver carbon fiber dash overlays! No pics yet...

Got them in the mail today....outstanding quality on these pieces. Can not even find a flaw in the weave. Better quality than the ones I had on my BMW! Well worth the money. Now question for ya all......

Should I try to install it myself, once this stuff is stuck....it is ON THERE.

Should I do it myself or take it to a graphics shop and have them do it just so I do not mess it up, my hands are not the best with this kind of stuff and there are a hell of alot of pieces. The main parts are the center console stuff that has some huge parts and if one is not lined up perfect.....you get the picture.

I may just start with all the parts but the big center dash parts first to see how it goes. Have to clean the dash with isopropoyl alcohol first and let dry, than use an adhesive promoter on the parts to be covered. Man, this is going to look AWSOME!!!! No more scratched silver plastic!!! Might be starting on it this weekend on some of the small parts, has to be at least 70 degrees inside the car before I can attempt it, do not want to mess with a hair dryer or heat gun.

Carcus it shouldn't be all that bad. If anything start from one corner and work your way slowly down the piece. Don't put pressure on the pieces so you can probably "snap" them off if they stick and you have them in the wrong spot. I have never even seen these pieces but they can't be any harder than laying vinyl and I did that for 6 years. Good luck

Wish you were here to assist Smoken'04....hehehe. I will probably tackle it myself, with time and paitence, little by little, one part at a time. Looks like Weds and Thursday will be in the low 70's here, time for an install.

shouldnt be too hard, as long as u take your time and dont push them down all the way until u see that it is straight, should take no longer than half hour to do. make sure u clean the surface with alcohol.. but im sure that comes with the kit itself.

good luck, post some pictures if u decide to tackle the mission
