Hey guys sorry for the bad pictures i'll take better ones when the sun is out and about.. this was late and Member nigxdoof stay up with me till 4 am! I really appreciate it Nigxdoof! well the scale on this from 1 to 10 is a 4 its not that hard just very tedious work. everything looks good and the customer service from Eric @ PYspeed was great, 2 yards is more than enough to complete the interior of the car and then some i have extra and it was worth it in case i messed up.. there are a few spots were i want to redo but when i have time... it's so annoying to take apart the trim but it looks amazing ! now for some crap pictures I was going to write up a DIY for our cars but it got so late and we didnt want to take pictures during the process because it was hot and humid in his garage we were dripping in sweat lol i love the way the CF feels lets hope this last 2 years before i have to redo it

Nice job, guys. 4am. I guess you 2 didn't have to work the next day.

Quick question: is it just to peel off the backing and stick on kind of thing?

Looks great, I only had the balls to do the climate control area. I'd like to do the main trim though. Whats your secret for doing the corners and edges to make them look clean?
