Does this stuff work??

[gus]

I wanna fix up the interior of my car. I saw this stuff on ebay and i was wondering if anyone had used it before? I gotta couple of concerns though. If it is just a sticker, im worried that it will come out looking real tacky. Also if it is stick on, will it peel off? i live in townsville where it is fairly hot year round. And there is no real shady parking at work.

Firstly click the big link in my signature. Secondly, dstocks got a stick on woodgrain one... it was ok, but he wasn't happy with bits that didn't fit perfect and all the visible joins. He got everything professionally done for around $700 and it come up beautiful.

Yep, what he said. Dont waste your money. Heat effects it, so do the curves in the dash. Fit isnt perfect either.

2 options there. I live in Canberra. I took out the bits I wanted done and sent them registered post (with insurance). Other option - try these guys:

don't get the wood grain one cause i'm using one and yes it doesn't fit perfectly, i have to friggin trim it myself as well ...

that wood grain dstock have looks very neat & perfectly done

Thats because it isnt a stick-on, its a dipping treatment. Its the same process as used for new cars I believe. I send them the bits, they do some form of dipping and then cover in a clear estapol. Looks 100X better than the stickons, goes right around the corners and once on cannot be removed - so it doesnt peel in the heat.
