I got bored a while back and ordered 4ft of that Vinyl Carbon fiber stuff. Then today got bored again and noticed it, and should do something with it. My first project is the carbon fiber center console. And here it goes.

Take everything apart. Didn’t take the time to document this process but not that hard. I’ll go back and document that later. But to generalize the first step, it’s to target your project and extract.

My target was the area around the shift boot. Couple mins, pulled it out and measured how much I need to cover it. Be very generous, better safe than sorry.


I used a hair dryer on high heat and low fan to make the vinyl stretch around the curves. Try not to stretch it too much or else the pattern would look funny. Just heat it up and stretch it a little and tuck it under.


I finished it up by cutting the center, heating it up again and tucking under. Re-assembled the center console and thinking of other things to do



Ok so it's rice, but it's economical rice. It's cheaper than those dash kits and Personally I think it looks better. Theres only so much you can do to the car at one time. I guess a little rice project keeps you one with the car till the good stuff arrives (DIY T-25 Turbo :thumbup: )

Taking suggestions. I was thinking about the wrapping the side skirts, but have to pay for the better vinyl. Someone at Team Integra already did it and looks pretty nice and holding up. Was considering the lip too since I have an un-prep Wings West RS2 lip sitting in my closet waiting for funds for a full paint job.

need more info, feel free to PM me

thanks,
