Washi aluminum finish removal
#16
CF wrap =) Gonna remove the panels and wrap it with CF by myself.
Im picking up the material 2 weeks from now... and yes, the material im picking up is exactly how its like on the M3!! no kidding.
Not glossy or anything crappy like that... just how it is on the M3 is what I manage to get!! Even the feel is accurate.. you can feel the weaves. hehe
WOOT WOOT. But thats just half the battle.. hehe the installation is gonna be hard work.. but if i manage to pull it off, its gonna be awesome. And it wouldnt be expensive since im doing the work myself. The fabric is 50 bucks. Everything else... is my time. Wish me luck!

haha seems like we are getting ahead of ourselves... lol Im still a long way from the completion of this project...if I can even manage it is that is.
But I think I can =) I already downloaded the service manual for the interior of our G's and looked at the blueprint on the removal of the instrument panels and the other panels.

Just a suggestion - check first before you permanently apply the weave. When I've worked w/ raw carbon fiber fabric, I noticed that if it gets stretched a bit, there can be gaps between the weave where you can see through. So, if you're covering something lighter in color (like washi trim) you may want to paint it darker first so you won't see the silver washi trim peeking through the weave.
