[SLR_dave]

I reckon they look awesome!
I don't think I'm ready to get that radical with my vans atm as I'm goin orig, but it's a brilliant modernistion, This carbon wrap stuff looks better and better!

Can I ask, How fiddly was it to do that job Damien? - Whats it cost?

Thanks Dave

They weren't too bad. I read Absinth's post on how to restore the vents and after i got them apart, simply removed and wrapped each vane using a heat gun to settle it in. Used a sharp knife to trim around the edges and all seems well. Reassembly was simple with a couple of dobs of super glue on the two vent halves. Material cost was about $70 for the vinyl kit (Super Cheap Auto) and a couple of bucks for some sticky backed foam from Bunnings to reline the housing (see below). I will post pics of the reassembled dash when complete. Cheers
