Default x300 carbon fiber vinyl dash

i was curious to see if the carbon fiber look would be better....not in my opinion,but at least now i know,it didnt take too long,i used the scott,6 layer wrap,individually,i liked the look of the trim pieces,but after installation,it just did not look correct,i will leave it on for a couple of days to see if it grows on me

Well, if your wood is cracked and faded, this or a different pattern may be a good alternative to refinishing or replacement (good luck finding any NOS).

I've chatted with auto trim refinishers and so far none do the odd greenish/gray/black birdseye maple in the XJRs including British Auto Wood.

today i also did the ski slope and ashtray,i put leftover patches on the knob just to get a idea of end result...i already removed it from the knob,i will wait a few days to decide if i will proceed and try to replace everything with real carbon fiber replacements or maybe i will attempt to refinish the wood

d with new resin


looks ok,but not what i thought it would be
