let me just say that i love the look, feel and quality of this material. it's definitely the best and closest look to carbon fiber that i've seen. even the color is damn close.

so far i wrapped the a, b and c pillars. the c pillars gave me the hardest time. especially the drivers rear that bubbled 3 days after and left some craters as well. i'll do the c pillars again, but i have other plans that need to get done first. i'll be focusing on the interior over the winter and should have everything done by or before spring. i already know the material(s) i'll be using and the layout. it will be unique, but simple, like what i always try to do. i just love to tackle new projects, lmao.....

very important!!! before you install, determine what the pattern direction for each part will be and write it out. if you do it wrong the weave pattern direction will look like stripes, instead of cross threads. i did it on my drivers a pillar, but later changed it. the drivers a and b pillar pattern is left to right and drivers c pillar is right to left and the opposite for the pax side. this way all parts are at a cross threads pattern and not a straight line.
here's a few pix..

Jimmy, Thanx for the invite...

I jus bought 2 yards of neffy wrap... Love the look and feel, but what adhesive did you use? What prep has to be done to the surface before slappin it on?

I will be covering the center console and shifter area and silver tabs on the steering wheel, jus need to swap the steering wheel controls with black ones then we are good to go...

Fahad, first of all, "what's up bro and welcome to the Alley".

I prep'd all parts with NAPTHA and let dry or you can use soap/water. ONLY use 3m 90, it's the only way to ensure good adhesion. I'll post on step in a bit, on my iPhone at a Haiti event. Later!

Looks great!
A buddy of mine used neffy on his A pillars to try it out but it started to bubble up. I forgot what glue he used maybe 90.

Jimmy, if I remember, you did this mod some time ago. How's it holding up??

Love the look.

no issues at all. a, b, c pillars are still the same and holding well. looking at what next to do for the spring. we'll see.
