Price seems high given the product that will be received. I'd still might be interested in the individual pieces depending on the price.

This def seems like it will be a pain to put on if your not detailed oriented. What about you offer selling templates/instructions, and just let the customers buy their own material. I'm sure there will be plenty of mistakes by us, and it would be much easier to go down to our local shop for material than wait for it to be ordered.

Either way good luck with everything!
Guys, keep in mind these are high resolution pics. In person you don't notice a little wrinkle. Honestly, the only panel that I would try again is the drivers side kick panel. I got some bad wrinkles by the hood pull but I didn't worry about it because it is in a hard to see area.

This is a kit. You can't just get any material and glue and have it come out good or last. I did all the hard work of finding everything you need, writing up detailed instructions, making templates, actually wrapped everything myself so I can provide customer support, etc. And then send it all to you in a easy to use package.

I think it looks pretty good. I just have to wait to see what all you decide to cover on the TA interiors. The only difference should come in the door panels. The TA's need more of the door covered, but it would be a difficult task to do without completely disassembling the door. I may consider buying the kit if you do cover the main area of the door panels, but I'm not going to hold my breath because I think it will be too much work for most people.

Exactly. You need an industrial stapler, and then have to remelt all the tabs that you cut off... too much work for the average person.

Or use plastic epoxy like I did.
I recovered the black cloth on my doors with silver cloth.

Finally pics, you were such a tease!
Do you have any intention of doing the shifter console, or the plastic dash piece in behind the windshield?

Well I'm not average and I could do that bro. When you offer this really nice package for the T/A and in neutral for color consider it sold. Unless you just wanna sell me the patterns and I'll get the material myself. Nice job!!

I think I'll wait until the individual parts come out. I'm really only looking to do the kick panels, sail panels, and hatch panels from your kit. I wish you would do a piece for the bottom piece of the center console, mine is scratched up from the seat belt fasteners rubbing up against it.

Well if you decide to sell the templates/instructions let us know. And look at it this way, if we buy the instructions/templates, go get our own material/glue, and it doesn't work, then we have to come back to you for the entire kit...you could be making even more if we get the wrong crap, AND no one could hold you "responsible" since it was our option not to use your products in the first place.

The console is 10x harder to wrap then the panels I do in the kit. That's why I don't sell the console.

If you saw it person, you would be impressed. I know the pictures didn't come out well but you guys wanted them asap, lol. I'm getting a really good camera tomorrow and if I can learn how to use it by then, I'll post up some new shots
