Here is where we left off...big ugly gaps around the thing and uneven places where I cut the vinyl. Thanks to everyone who gave it such high praise although it was still kind of rough.



First thing I had to do was completely pull the whole thing out and attach it to PVC to eliminate the raised areas where the vinyl met the CF. Then, a little sanding.

I created a template for a trim piece and cut it with an X-Acto blade out of 1/16" white PVC, sanded a bevel into the outer edge, added 3M adhesive tape to the back and carefully trimmed it out, then painted it with Graphite spray paint. I left the driver's side open for flow purposes. Anyone looking for a VERY close Graphite match can feel free to email me - this stuff worked really well and dried FAST.

The Final Product:







I plan to add a carbon fiber airbag cover and a CF dash accent around that far vent. That should pretty much tie it all together.

This is my favorite Cav project ever. I can't believe how well it turned out.

Thanks again for your comments and suggestions - I'll have a new project soon, I'm sure!

That looks kickass, but just make sure you lock your car and have an alarm, lol.

Thanks guys - yeah that should keep that vinyl down in its place I hope. My only concern now is what may happen on the first 100+ degree day...

I'll post a few more pics when I get the airbag cover and a couple other accents in.

Looks Awesome! Inspires me to add more cf to my interior.

Hehe, anyone who is inspired to add more CF to their interior should check out my GP, which will be up as soon as Dave gets to it...

Thanks guys!

How about trim pieces around the round air vents on the 03+ Sunfires? (Or even better the Grand Am round vents) as well as the Cavalier vents?
