No more woodgrain--AND NOT PAINT

[Sweet_N_Low]

I saw a recent thread on an ebay company selling interior pieces with different designs rather then the woodgrain. I wasn't paying $400 for the design I liked so I chose a DYI kit

Nice, i've been waiting for someone to do this. I want to do the white carbon one on my Silvy, this motivates me to pull the trigger

Looks sweet! Now just do something with that wood piece around the stereo.

One warning about the carbon fiber graphics. It has a tendency to discolor with the heat of the sun. I did this in my 86 Monte Carlo SS, was fine for first year, but is now discolored (did this 3 years ago).

Looks great, though! You did a great job!!

Thought I would leave that piece as like an accent piece. No?

Yes. This 3m vinyl is so easy to work with. Hairdryer to soften it and it is like melting it on

I'm hoping my 5% tint will help eliminate that. Did you use the high end 3M vinyl?

Looks good. post one up when you do all of it. Looks much better than the wood grain.

Very nice, Sweet_N_Low!

Never have figured out why the car companies think that out-of-place 1950s fake wood trim fits in with a modern vehicle.

Mine is the darker shade of the 'wood grain' as opposed to that redish stuff in many of the newer ones so it doesn't look AS bad but I rend to agree with you...
