FX only did the door panels, ashtray and center console. Total was $600 for all pieces. I bought the steering wheel like that. But I'm not sure if they can wrap your steering wheel as its a super complex shape to wrap.

I've looked into this method before too. To be honest its not really worth it. They charge $60/1sqft and most pieces are larger than 1 foot so the only other option is buying the 1sqm (39.4"x39.4") which is about $120 USD and you probably need about 2 of these kits to do all the pieces and should still have some left over in case you need to redo any pieces. And then the hours or labor to do it all. I personally don't have the patience. Personally I'd pay a little more to have it done pro.

But I truly believe in vacuum sealing only. Being air tight is very crucial. If you have any air bubbles under the carbon when it heats up (lets say sitting in your car under the sun for a few hours) it will start to bubble and separate. That was pretty much the exact method the first guy who did my carbon pieces. When I picked it up it was all smooth and even and after 2 days the s*** was breaking out like a pubescent teenager.

Thanks guys. It's been a fun build so far. Although this is my daily driver, I've currently put this project on hiatus as I current have other obligations.

I just wanted to share a little update. I was getting bored, so I decided to step up my table game. Added the 2-Way crystal table rings, coasters and light kit.
