Default Carbon Fibre looking AU door/ dash spears and climate fascia.

Been mucking around with some vinly wrapping after having to re-do my bonnet and decided to see what it looks like on the woodgrain pieces on a AU Fairmont/ Fairlane/ Ghia/ LTD.
Was just wondering if anyone was interested as I have a full set excluding the climate fascia and centre shifter sourround sitting here which i could wrap if anyone was interested?
Could also prob do the climate fascia and centre shifter sourround if supplied, although havnt worked out a price yet as last time i bought it off a mate it was $350 for 3 metres sq so not exactly cheap but for now im using the leftover pieces i have.

Anyway this is what it looks like...


Fairmont vs wrapped



Wrapped vs T1 TE50

It won't last!
My work mate did all his wood grain pieces in his BMW and its lasted about 3months before the glue started failing!

Looks like there is a glossy version as well.

I had some a long time ago ... and was used on a previous car (we are talking about mid-90's here) ... and I had used it on external black mirrors and other bits ... and it lasted quiet well and never lifted. Had it on the car for a couple of years before trading it in ... stretched nicely on some curves and sat nice and flush. The key for a nice finish though is to pre-prep the surface it is going on and make sure everything is clean/smooth otherwise you will any imperfection from underneath.

Tempted to get some and try it out on a few things actually.
