Very nice. I did similar with my RX7. I put a gloss clear on mine and it looked sick.

I was thinking of doing the same thing. Was it hard to do?

Not hard. Hardest part is getting the 3 Pieces of trim off the dash. There are 2 nuts behind each piece. So you need to drop the fuse cover panel and reach behind and up to get to the first two. Then drop the glove box and reach behind and up to get to those two. All those are 10mm nuts. The piece by the air controls comes off after you pull off all the ***** (used pliers to get them off easily) and then a screw behind each of the temperature controls. As for the applying of the carbon fiber film, a hair drier and an exacto knife are all you need.

Film was $20 for 60" x 12" roll (smallest I could find). Wood trim around temp controls, window controls, 3 pieces on the dash and 1 on the shifter
