Carbon Fiber Interior Anyone? 4th Gen Sport

[spearfishingkid]

So I ordered some vinyls from Rvinyl.com - Tint & Auto Accessories, yes yes. I don't have the money for a real CF dash kit, call me cheap. But I ordered the R24 Carbon Fiber Vinyl- Black. Applied it and it looked stunning. Almost as if I had had a dash kit installed or had a professional do the work. The material was extremely easy to use and molded easily to curves with a hot hair dryer. One problem I have is that I somehow messed up the wiring of my HVAC unit or blew the bulbs underneath the main screen when pulling it out. Haven't figured out how to take apart the door yet to get to the handle and do those, but will post when I have figured it out.

You may NOT have blown the HVAC bulbs in your HVAC/info center panel. The bulbs are extremely finicky and will lose contact if they are "jostled" around. Just pull the panel and adjust each affected bulb a little bit and test. If they ARE indeed blown, they are cheap to replace. I had a similar issue but left the "bad" bulbs alone, until I did my LED swap. When I pulled the panel, I discovered that the bulbs had NOT gone bad but had just lost contact with their leads. Too late anyway, as I was done with standard bulbs. Much happier with my blue LEDs!

I was really wanting to do my conversion in blue. How do you like it? I have some soldering experience but my parents would flip shit and call me crazy if I did it. Pm me?

I did the interior of my Acura with real CF, I'm very impressed with how yours came out, it definitely doesn't look like most fake vinyls. you have some skill, those pieces came out very nice.

I think it really looks good with the seat patterns in the sport...

I wonder how this would look on the outside trim pieces where the vents come out and stuff. I hate the plain silver in my sr5.

What do you mean where the vents come out? Another place I was thinking of putting it was on my interior door handles, and the inside of my hoodscoop.

The two outside center console pieces that are dark grey and have the hazard button and rear window roll down switch.

Ooooohhhhh... I thought (and I think others as well) that you were referring to something on the EXTERIOR of the vehicle. You are actually referring to the large center dash trim piece.
