also it would look better if the lines were a little thicker (diameter) and flush. They look worse because of the embossed look and bad paint. You could do it a little more tastefully, but I would go ahead and carbon wrap if I were you.

well it certainly livens up the cabin !! Looks nice.. Well done :thumbsup:

Well, this is definately a different strokes for different folks situation.

Its not my taste, but it seems to be decently done. I suggest spraying it with clear coat to remove the distraction of the height difference of the tribal pattern. All in all, not bad.

I admire the time and effort that went into doing that but I think you're right about covering it.

Some mistakes are a little more permanent.

red carbon would be ok as well, but since the OP seems to have a tribal tat anyway, why not keep it that way?

monkeedoo 05-31-2013 01:46 PM

Any updates on the carbon dash? I hopefully will have time to finish at least one of my panels this weekend. Certainly not perfect though.

Wow.. Judgmental much? I applaud your attempt to customize your car to be something you enjoy. I don't care what most people think about the things I do, as long as it makes me happy.

Not feeling that particular design, however I appreciate the approach you took and the work you put into it.

Wouldn't surprise me if we see some more DIY's like this with different themes.

Every time you sit in the car you turn into this. Your horns can take advantage of the concave roof

I vote carbon fiber wrap all the way. Obviously it is your car and you should do what you want, but it is just too much for me.
