So I got bored the one day and I had some left over carbon fiber vinyl. And here is what I did.

When you said "carbon fiber vinyl" I braced myself for the worst, but that actually looks pretty good! I'm pleasantly surprised! Nice work.

Well good upholstery shops might charge up to $50 an hour which is how long that took and then they would charge you twice what they paid for the materials.

The rotor is raised by landau foam.

Nice... You're officially a pimp.

How did you get it to 'suction' onto/over the foam?

He probably used some sort of adhesive to mold it around the shape.

I got it on there with glue...the thing is to make sure you have angled edge not straight cut...cause when it's a straight cut it looks like *** n wont stick properly.

I JUST sold my TII to JoshRx7 on the forum. It's new home is far, far away in Louisville, KY!

I got another TII, but it doesn't look a thing like my old one... To give a quick description: Fading primer, surface rust and gutted interior.

Quite a contrast, lol. It is fast though... N/A rotors, street-ported, R-tek etc.

There are a lot of places all over the country that sell the foams, cloths, leathers, and everything you need for upholstery...I have a list of places at home but I'm at work right now so I will have to post the list later in the day.
