I guess the rice has reached the 928 crowd.
Sorry, maybe if Paul C did it then it would look nice, but short of that, it is going to scream rice in most 928's.
and heed the warnings about the "Hairs".

Reading comprehension FAIL. Pretty sure it has been mentioned in this thread that each product discussed to this point is not real carbon fiber, but rather cloth or vinyl textured to produce the appearance of carbon fiber. There will be no loose strands, or "hairs", with any of these products. Carbon Fiber, like anything else, can be done tastefully or to the extreme. Ultimately, it is a matter of personal preference.

Trying to get one of the splitters I have seen here wrapped but not having any luck getting the guys in town who do this stuff to call me back. Probably to small a job for them and it sounds like most of them have not worked with any of the CF looking wraps... Hmmmmm...
If you own a heat gun and a knife you can do it.

Doug, I am a bit mobility impaired so moving big stuff like the splitter around is difficult for me to do... If it were a smaller piece maybe so, but then the problem comes in buying the stuff...I certainly don't need a HUGE ROLL of it for $500! If there were smaller rolls that were fairly cheap, I think I'd give it a shot. I could probably set the splitter on the dining room table (or get my wife to put it there for me) and could get to it well enough to make this sort of thing happen...

I used something similar on the 84 about 3 years ago. Trimming around the "P" "R" "N", etc of the auto shifter was probably the hardest part. All the other trim popped out and was pretty easy--the seat switches, door locks, glovebox... I think I used 3M super 77(?) Where I screwed up was putting a clearcoat over it to give it some sheen. In the Texas sun, that soon turned a little yellow...

Oh and you can get a piece roughly big enough (for my splitter anyway) for around $160.

I saw some Kraft brand canned spray-on cracker cheese at Biglots the other day. I was thinking about applying some of it on various parts of my interior as well. I think it would be a tasteful modification, and nothing says "fast" as loudly as spray-on cheese!
