Again, by the real thing or don't bother. Even the fake cf dash inserts are :ghey: ... you know that stuff that looks like cf but is really just a rubbery plastic imitation.

Also, vinyl won't stick very well to consoles and stuff because it is not smooth.

actually i got this idea from a post that someone put on here and he did a bunch of his dash and it worked fine and looked great...

:madfawk:

all i asked for was if anyone knew where to get it, not for opinions on what i am doing

Touchy, touchy aren't we? If you're afraid of public opinion then don't post on a public forum:fawk:

Also, this "guy" that did it before... well you can do just about anything but will it last?.... the answer is nope you dope

Find this guy and I bet his shit is curling up all over the place.

The reason that dash kits stick is because they have a much thicker/stickier and more plyable backing that conforms to the uneven texture of a dash or console... vinyl does not, it's adhesive is virtually invisible to the naked eye.

BTW my dad does vinyl for a living and I was just looking out for your best interest and trying to help you avoid a disaster but since you want to be a dick about it then rice on with your bad self:fawk:
