I happen to live walking distance away from Don (who's been selling vinyl on this forum) and decided to pick up some carbon fiber vinyl from him.
You can find Don here. http://golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81857&highlight=don

Straight to pictures.

1.4ft x 1ft carbon fiber vinyl and interior trims.


2. Zoom on CF vinyl and a useful tool on this DIY.


3. Cut it and cook it like CRACK.


4. Roll it up like a fat dutch. (Never knew this skill would come useful) :wink:


5. Results.









New pictures...







I tried to vinyl the center handle bar but failed.
But, I'm happy how the rest of it came out.
:biggrin:

I was never a fan of CF but I wanted to do something inside and didn't want to do matte or gloss black vinyl.

Yeah, it was very easy to work with when thick CF vinyl turned to wax papers thin after heating it up with a hair dryer for about 3 sec.

Dude same here... I love the look of the Carbon Fiber on the door trim though.. I think I'm gonna have to email Don soonish :biggrin:

Door trims were LOT easier than any other part I've vinyled.
Just cut the same length but add about 1/2 inch on the width, and follow my two step, heat it up then bend the vinyl.

I just did the center and the shift boot area, picture will be up in about 20.

Looks great, you live in the same multi-trillion dollar neighborhood? lol

lol I wouldn't go that far.
