WOW looks good. How about some detailed photos of the hard to do areas? Did you use 3M DiNoc CA421 vinyl? That's the non glossy 3M DiNoc CF. (the More Glossy 3M is "CA421GN" which is great stuff as well if you want a bit more gloss to the vinyl CF) So...vinyl or fabric?

Agreed, plus the fact it might bubble or peel over time. But OP, you did a great job with that dash!!!!

Damn that looks clean!!! Good job I want one!!! When I googled carbon fiber sc300, I found that a company makes doors that are cf too. So far Ive seen hood, trunk and doors.

Here you go, a couple of close up shots. The areas around the gauge cluster were the most difficult but i think I'm going stick with this setup.

I would love to see a step by step DIY for this, purely for the fact of reveling in how much work you put in here. I know this wasn't easy.

Thats my thoughts, how does this hold up over time? Will it begin to bubble or come apart at the edges? I am in for the installed pictures.. I have never been a big fan of carbon fiber, but it does look good.
