    Hey y'all I've been looking at my options for changing up my interior (current below)Vvxx5fFRVXySTHac7BDKiTtPh1AgKADzp8090LCm_b827683c59386bc1d7be7af45796137e4bfb5b39.jpg
    and it seems that, at least for what I wanna do hydro dipping is the best way to go. Currently I wanna do all of the graphite grey in white carbon fiber (i figured that usually people who go this route do regular carbon fiber so i wanted to change things up a bit while still having it look nice) and then change the black stuff (head unit, vents, and all of the other black regular plastic besides buttons) to brushed aluminum. Would this look good? Do any of you guys have suggestions on what I should do instead of those colors?

    It’s been on for months and has held up well. If I were to do anything different it would be to dip the cover over the “hidden glove box” that’s above the glove to tie it all in. Since I didn’t, most likely I’m going to get it leather wrapped and diamond stitched like the 1794’s

    Oh sorry I thought misread it for january 23th, 2021 instead of febuary 23th, 2020,, also is that material on the smaller glove box dip-able? and yeah that would look great wrapped in that leather.

    It’s definitely able to be dipped. They will most likely bondo then part then dip it.

    So if that's able to be dipped then the entire black area above the dash is able to be dipped too?

    Yes. You can dip everything- they just have to smooth the surface. Sand it. Bondo, etc

    I have done my interior and engine bay in my 350z and it has held up over a year and a half. No issues whatsoever. Hydro dip over vinyl any day IMHO.
