If it was from metrosellers on ebay... been there done that
The metal-baacked vinyl basically shrunk like a bag of chips in the oven, and my entire dash was covered in bubbles. It looked great for about 3 days, but leaving the car in the aussie sun and baking in the heat didn't do it any good. Hope yours lasts better than mine!

you should have used the real CF fabric instead of the vinyl stuff, but it still looks good

I think it looks good. I would have gone with a higher sheen though.

/\ Thanks, how flexible is it? Do you think it could be wrapped around a double din radio bezel? (orbital)

very flexible and Stretchable. it's got the feel of a thick t shirt if that helps.

you use 3M 77 adhesive to put it in, but it is removable by pulling off and cleaning with rubbing alcohol.
