This looks very nice, a lot like dry carbon. How did you trim the excess in the holes without messing up the console itself? Does this stuff come in plain weave as well? I already have plain weave on the outside and do not want mix the patterns.

Just a sharp X-acto knife. You cut it a little long in the openings so you have enough to fold over the edge and secure it to the back side. I tried my best not to damage the original panels...

Looks great Ryan. I agree, much better than the factory hydro-carbon looking stuff. I had mine wrapped in real carbon, and it doesn't look all that great up close, especially around the bolt holes.

I hear you have a shiny blower on its way.
