Default carbon fiber wrap

IF you have ever noticed the little panels on our doors, rattle. Well mine do atleaste. so i figured i would order some of this carbon fiber wrap to make the panel fit more snug and not rattle. The panels do fit snug now and seem tight i havent driven it sence i did this so hopefully it is rattle free.
Heres some pics











IT was pretty easy to do just had to use a hair dry as a heat gun. The hardest part was doing the corners.

I only did those three pieces for now but i do plan on doing more peices. This is alot cheaper than spending 275+ for a dash kit.

Thanks guys. As for the corners i still havent figured out the best way to do it. Im sure you could find youtube videos about how to wrap the corners i for some reason didnt think to look it up. You really just got to make small cuts until you get it to lay theway you want. I would def practice on small interior peicces before you try to do big pieces

I was wrapping stuff all weekend! I did my whole center console, all the plastic around the radio, my automatic shifter and some other parts. The center console was a little more complicated, but it turned out great in the end! I still have a few more things to do when I can get the time.
