    Spilled carbon fiber all over the inside of the STi!

    I spent the weekend wrapping the dash in 3M 1080 black carbon fiber material, installing my Alpine CDA-105 HU, Alpine SPS-600c front door speakers, Kicker KS400 rear door speakers, Alpine MRP-M500 amp and single 12" Alpine Type-R sub (which the sub may be coming out already). I also added the Forester din picket rather than having an open cubby.

    Oh and here's the stock speakers vs. the new speakers. I replaced the tweeters as well since the front speakers are components but didn't bother to take a picture compared them.

    It does look even better in person. I also picked up a center gauge pod and 3 Defi gauges a few months ago and just haven't gotten around to installing them yet, but that gauge pod is also going to be wrapped in the same CF material to complete the look.

    That looks fantastic man. Some day

    And it's actually 3M 1080 CF black. It's different from the Di-Noc, it's intended for use in automotive applications instead of interior design like the Di-Noc. The weave is a little smaller, it's more durable, especially on the outside of the car (it's meant to be used for full wraps) and it's a little easier to work with.

    Looks good, the weave matches up well from part to part. I have seen others that don't take that time and it doesn't line up or they make it go in different directions. Nice job mate.
