Where did you get the CF vinyl from?

I bought this stuff off ebay

There is plenty with this purchase to do everything in your car.
Quality is good, although it doesn't have the air release channels like the 3m Nidoc wrap. Having said that for about 1/5th the price what do you expect.

I don't have the patience to do that.

Do it in little bits, the two air vent surrounds should take you less than an hour and are a good way to learn about having to heat and stretch to get the wrinkles out.

If you want a DIY posting let me know and I will re-wrap one to show how I managed it.

Got sufficiently pissed off yesterday with the gear shift knob abortion of CF wrap that I decided to remove it and leave it as stock. As I was attempting to lift the vinyl I also started to lift the plastic cap away from the knob. By the time I'd pulled the vinyl off the cap was sitting proud of the leather trim and wouldn't push back down. So I pried the cap off and saw that they is a blob of grey silicone type susbstance holding the cap in place. I've since scraped the majority of this silicone off, re-vinyled the cap and stuck it back in place with some silicone I had lying around. I have had the cap held in place with masking tape overnight and will snap a couple of pics this morning when I remove the tape.

Check out this thread in regards to my abortive attempt to CF wrap the dash board pieces:

A couple of pics



The grand unveiling, a little overexposed and the flash makes it look like there are a couple of creases but there aren't, I might reshoot when I get the car out later.

Yeah. T'ville is the closest if you want Opti Coat. I ended up with something else.

Any ETA for your GTS yet?

Absultely no ETA for my GTS. And the guy at Toyota is like

Yeah I would hate to drive for 4.5 hours, probably have to spend the nght in Brownsville and then the drive back. Although that would be 800k of your run in completed.

Have you tried shopping around at all, that's how I got into my GTS early, ended up getting it from Ingham.
