im not to worried about the price, more about the results...
anyone ever done any sort of overlay? our main dash piece is huge, and has curves all over, just wondering how this stuff would go on...

Are you thinking of doing a gauge overlay? Or the outside of the dash?
IMO, Carbon fibre is used to lighten things up, but you're only making it heavier.... If it looks good then that'* cool, i've been toying with making a gauge inlay for some time now.

Ummm...dude. Are you able to read my mind? What am I thinking now...?
I was thinking of being unique and applying CF look vinyl on my dash too. A couple of years ago a distributor sent me a flyer for rolls of the stuff. Probably 12" wide by ?? feet long. They also had some other patterns like cheap woodgrain, etc.
This is pretty low on my priority list but I'll see if I can find the flyer and get the company name
