The flat panels look great wrapped in CF. I gave it a shot on the dash of a 1993 and all the curves just didn't work. I ended up having all the removable plastic parts Plastidip'ed on both my 1993 and 1994 converts.

No before pic's of either but this in my 1994 with new seats.

I know here in the states I've seen them in just about every MidAmerica catalog I've ever received. I have a bright red '92 vert I'm going to do them in as well. I'd never thought of the door panels though so I'll have to check those out too.

Yeah the wrap would not work well on a 93 dash ... also the heat can cause the wrap to rise and bubble if not done properly.

Learnt many lessons using the wrap... went back and redid things again a couple of times... the warp on the body of the car isn't easy also... what can happen is if you stuff it up and have to lift the wrap again it can lift the paint... so if anyone is thinking of using wrap on the body be very very careful... it has something to do with paint adhered to fibreglass.

Man, I'm digging that black stripe on white. Now you have me thinking of something like that on my white. Can you post a shot of the rear, if you could? I'd like to see what the stripe looks like across the back (although I have slightly more paint on the back than yours, it will seed my imagination).

Great photo, btw!

Wow! Beautiful!! (and the car isn't bad either!)

Love your seat covers. Mine will be complete when I get my seats done "zackly" like those! That car shows a LOT of TLC (tender loving car) has been applied; a real stunner!!
