Default Finally! CF Interior corvette pieces done

After many many weeks of working on my interior for my Vette when I got a chance here and there I have finished the carbon fiber treatment. Still a couple more pieces I'm debating on weather or not to do, but for now I am done for a little bit. I haven't driven the Vette since december! Now I can drive it tomorrow since it is supposed to be another near 70° day. I'll get some installed pics as soon as I can.

Looks absolutely amazing. Mind doing a quick write up some time on your technique of carbon fibering objects? I have a few rolls of CF twill in the basement and I just haven't taken the plunge yet.
