When are your meets. Unfortunately, none of these are my cars, and the owners of the cars either live too far away from me or are usually too busy for me to have them come out to the local meets.
Easiest way is if some of you guys want to cruise by around noon this friday, I should be doing an X5's roof in matte and an E60 (member on here) roof in CF.
I live in Irvine, but all of our work is done at my friend's house in Huntington Beach, since the weather is cooler/more ideal there.
It could be used for interior trim. However, I've seen other people selling/using an actual fabric for their interiors. I don't like this, purely based on the fact that you have to scuff your stock trim pieces and use an adhesive to apply it on. The vinyl's adhesive is designed to allows the piece to be completely reversible without any problems.

I left my camera at my friend's house, so I will try to get him to either send me the files or post them up after I go there to get it.
My sheets were specifically cut out to fit roof sections only. I can not cut any sample pieces from it right now, unfortunately, or else I'd be left with an incomplete sheet. I'll see what I can do though.

Does the fake "carbon fiber" not strike anyone as rice? The concept was executed with great quality, but the idea of anything fake seems out of place on a highend car. Seems like something that belongs on some Honda fanboys ride.
