Dude...I love your car. Same direction I'm going. I'll probably use a silver CF and not do the gauge cluster/shift ****, but the same idea. Love the matte/satin finish vs. high-gloss! Excellent work!
Also updates the car quite a bit, which helps when our car still looks bubbly and the new cars are all edgy/peaky/matte finish interiors (leather, wood and CF).

Looks very well done to me 
. Really would only look good on a car with black interior.
I'm pretty sure that if you ever get sick of it, it can be removed with some serious elbow grease and goo-gone. That 3M adhesive is some serious stuff but can be removed if need be. I used it to fix a peeling corner of my vinyl top on my 70 Cutlass and it worked great.

Thanks for the kind words guys. About the gauge cluster bezel, at first I didn't even contemplate wrapping this. Then I ended up starting on it last night since I have so much carbon fiber fabric. About halfway, I decided against it again but didn't want to waste the fabric since I had already tacked it on so I just completed it anyways. Thanks for your honesty guys.
ceelo: I used some Goo Gone to remove some excess adhesive and that stuff really breaks it up well. So yeah, if I get bored, I can always take it off and have it back to the normal wood finish.
Jeff: A heat gun wasn't needed because I didn't need to it to stretch that much. Plus if you stretch it too much, the pattern will become all distorted.
Tony: What happened to your "one-off" custom CF pieces? Those look wayyy nicer than mine. I just can't afford for a shop to have them make me custom ones.
Jimmy: Thanks for the link bro! Although I think it is much easier on the 2IS because the 2GS has so many curves/angles/swoops in our interior trim. I almost gave up at times!
Frankdorn: You can email them direct at sales@reloadedautosports.com
Stage3: You should give it a go if you have some free time. It looks much nicer in person.
