Forget carbon fiber vinyl sheet. Go to a Fabric shop and pick up the colors that you want in vinyl it is relatively cheap and use that to redo the interior. Take your time it looks clean when done right.

That vinyl sheet stuff doesnt even look like CF, it looks like a shitty checkboard.

i couldnt agree with him more, if all you can do is paint it then do it, its really not that hard, replacing the panles and most likely the dash can get very pricy, so just make sure you take your time and do it right, GOOD LUCK

I cleaned it and used paint stripper, which if I ever have to do it again I will not use paint stripper. It just causes more bad then good. I sanded the rough spots, then I spray painted it. I did not use any clear coat.
