looks good man. I wanna do something to my trim but I can't decide what. I do like the look of the cf though.

When I had my cavi I would frequently drive around without a dash or other random interior pieces

Thanks, appreciated

It looks amazing!

Is it some kind of overlay or what? I might need to pick some up.

Sort of an overlay. It's a real dry cf cloth. Layed over and epoxy over it. To sum it up

Dan you should be able to handle that. If I keep the balt then I'll definitely be looking into a bunch of small apperance stuff.

Ya should be able to do. But there's alot sanding, waiting for epoxy to dry and mixing the epoxy with the hardener to the right ratio. Doing 1 piece should take two days.

If anyone cares to try just pm me.

Where did you buy your carbon fiber from? I'd like to do a few things in it or at least have it sitting here for when I feel brave.

Can't post a link now but I got it on eBay. Search "carbon fiber 2x2 twill". A couple vendors have different colors btw look sick. They have plain weave which is the checker board cloth and 2x2 twill. Which is what I used
