So the trim pieces are actually wrapped in carbon fibre sheets yeah? Or is it the ebay fake CF? I wanted to get my interior done but only place i could find was in Scotland. Then i did something else to my interior trim which took 10 days non stop but seeing this makes me want CF again :-(

Guys this is not a sale post, please don't get Nexus' thread closed down with group buy discussion (I have removed several posts on that topic)
He is doing this for himself only and would need to be an approved CL sponsor to sell on our forum. Don't ruin his post please.
Nexus - nice work, looks great!

Wow, thanks for all the replies.... I finished the job but i'm a bit tired right now. I will post pictures tomorrow afternoon. However i did have a mishap. The center dash cover and the door trim was ruined. My son's friend accidentally rode his bike on top on the trim while it was in the process of drying during the last coat of resin. He ruined the finish coat and broke most of the studs on both door trims. I have no one to blame but myself as I left the pieces outside with no protection. I was so angry that i almost put all the trim pieces in the garbage can. I spent most of the day sanding trying to salvage the parts but it was hopeless. the combination of the bike and wet coat was to much for me to deal with. the parts are back in the car but they look like... well like someone rode their bike on top of them.

nexus... doesnt look too bad. its a ***** to get the weave to line up with the weave on other panels isn't it? One things i noticed when i did mine last year was that after a while the panels start rubbing each other when its warm out and will creak over bumps since clearances are much tighter. Looks good tho man!
