thanks! i was going to do matte black, but decided to try something a little different. from far away, it just looks black. when you get up close, that's when you notice the texture. the material is made by 3M, so i figured that it would be a decent product.

had a bit of vinyl left over, so i decided to wrap my phones too the vinyl actually has a very nice feel to it.

That looks pretty nice, it would be interesting to see flat black vinyl on the car with the Carbon vinyl on the roof.

i'm in the middle of wrapping my dash.. these threads were VERY helpful:

dash
door
door2

probably want to have some plastic clips for the doors ready. it was impossible (for me) to take the door panels off without breaking a few clips.

What's the point of doing that, anyway? I think it will make your car a lot less visible at night and during a rainstorm. I wonder how the insurance co. would feel about covering the side markers, too.
