had a small mod day

i installed my CF ebrake boot and CF ebrake handle today, it was a bitch and took a couple hours, a saw, a knife, and alot alot of sweat...lol...but i got it in, i also cut off the excess CF fabric and used it to wrap some other micellanious(spell check) things, the center cap on the steering wheel is wrapped in CF, looks nice, the casing sorrrounding the cruise buttons are wrapped in it, the 2 covers on the "a" pillar that say airbag on them were done too, note that i used CF fabric, not vinyl, so the pieces on the cruise casing is held on by friction, and the center cap is taped on the inside of it, but i punctured holes in the fabric to let the teeth stick thru to still attach back right, it looks nice, wish i had a cam to post pics...maybe someone in austin can help me out and take some pics of it

I'm sure it looks great. Would love to see some pics. You don't realize how much time goes into things until you do them yourself...!

Congrats man. The main thing that matters is that you had fun doing it and gained some DIY experience
