Cool, let me know. Want to do my dash and trim in the Civic. Does it adhere well to vinyl? My dash has that softer vinyl with the foam or whatever under it.

what grit do i use to sand fiberglass, im going to sand and do one more layer tomorrow and test fit the back dash cover tomorrow before i wrap it

I would use 60 - 80 grit to smooth it down than 220 to finish it with (if you're painting it). If you're coating it with material, just rough smooth it.

thanks for the tip i was wondering how to get that shit to stay tight first time using it and i like it alot better than the plastic tubing
never used heat shrink either how does that work??

tis a tube that shrinks when a certain amount of heat is applied

simply slide it on the wire and take a heat gun to it
