Default A Bit of DIY

A Leather shifter from Ebay.........$25

A Roll of Woodgrain Film/Laminate........$25

The satisfaction of doing it yourself.........Priceless!

Thanks, it's near perfect. Only got one tiny air bubble which is barely noticable. The film isn't as glossy as the genuine woodgrain surrounds but i've experimented on an offcut of film, after a few coats of clear it comes up much better.

But i'm happy to leave it as it is with a semi gloss.

Hey well done that has come up really well. If only someone could work out a way to replicate the "raindrops" finish from Tseries.

I think it looks factory. I don't think you would know that it's not, unless you were told so.

Thanks guys, I though it may look out of place in an S-Pack interior but actually I think it blends in nicely.

I'll take a day light shot over the weekend

Does look damn good!

Now are you going to reveal the secret of where you got the woodgrain/laminate roll from???

Cheers,
Rob

It's an FM Modulator Stacker Controller, controls my six stacker in the boot through a set FM radio frequency. Was used when my Premium sound deck was playing up. Now I've got a pioneer deck, so the stacker gives me a seven disc capacity.
