Damn - loving the fab work.

How hard is the flocking process?

Is that real carbon fiber - or some kind of wrap on the gauges/door panels?

The flocking process is quite easy. You basically have a basecoat that you brush on. the actual texture is created by applyingfine fibers. There is an applicator tubing that you use to apply the fibers by 'blowing' them onto the wet base coat. kind of like a tar and feathers type situation. The only real way to mess it up is to get the base coat brushed on too thin. You basically mop it on and stop before it runs. check out donjer.com. I got the mini flocker kit for 24.80. If you are doing a dash you will want to have a second person help you with the base coat, and if I were to do it again I would order a second applicator to have a second person help there also. It is impossible to overdue the application of the fiber. just keep blowing it on, anything extra will just not stick and fall off. Only problem is that you have a one time shot at doing it. If it drys you'er out of luck. If you try to do a second layer over it the texture will be course and lines will appear where you overlapped it.

As far as the carbon fiber, yes its just vinyl. It is 3m brand, and awesome stuff. Search 3m di-noc.
It is actually textured a bit like carbon. pretty much as close to the real thing as your going to get looks wise. I got a 3' by 4' roll off ebay for something like 45$...so a bit spendy.
