Default Carbon look vinyl

On the whole I like the interior of the s2000, despite reading a few reviews that criticise it for being basic when you've come out of an elise then anything is luxurious.

Anyway I digress, about the only part of it that bothered me was the centre console plastic, so I stuck a bit of that 3m di noc stuff on it and I have to say I rather like it

Apologies for the dark picture, it's night and the iPhone camera isn't the greatest.

Looks like a great job! It's impressive stuff that carbon look vinyl as long as you don't go too mad! I've seen people wrap whole cars in it, a big no no in my book

I love the idea of adding weight to your car to make it look lighter.

As also seen by Honda in the ATR and ITR

Hehe good point...although there's about 5 grams of stick on stuff there so if I wipe my feet before I get in we should be square

Its quite easy to do if you pop the centre console off and then remove the little box and the switch surround...you'll just need a nice sharp knife

Looks pretty good, my silver console has a couple of minor scuffs so may and cover it with a venture shield type of cover or this type at some point.
