MINI UPDATE

I have ordered the vinyl to wrap my panels already, but i had some cheap dry carbon vinyl to mess with and came up with this.



You cant see the grain to well(cause of the camera) but i thought for about 20 mins and some stuff i had layin around it looks pretty cool.
I have a carbon fiber tool holder from sponsor stratos284 on its way also, so when i get this stuff in and on i will do another mini update.
btw thanks for the kind words guys!

Nice. I bet I can spot you sitting on some of your night time honey holes on Nolin this summer! Lol. Nice looking setup, for sure.

Thanks much! It's starting to come around nicely. I wouldnt call any of the places we fish in nolin
"honeyholes" but I will be out there none the less.
Thanks again 4 the kind words.

Oh and btw I got my tool holder,carbon fiber vinyl and my new steering wheel should be here before the weekend. I will have an update with these parts installed soon.

MINI UPDATE:

I got the steering wheel, vinyl and tool holder in today. I got a chance to stick the tool holder on and I cut a small piece of vinyl and put it on the center cap for the steering wheel. I will be wrapping my gauge, bow, and switch panels This weekend and I will post better pics of that!

Here is the steering wheel (got it off fleabay for a steal)


And here is the tool holder i got from stratos 284 here on the boards
here is a link 2 them....

well I got my woodgrain dash panels wrapped this weekend, put on my new steering wheel and remounted my 797 up front. I had to make a piece to cover up the old hole (from my older flush mounted unit) it is made out of a cutting board that i wrapped.
Wrapping the panels that i took off or out of the boat was no prob,
the gauge panel and switch panel was alot tuffer, so it isnt perfect but it looks a ton better than the old woodgrain.
Plus without taking everything apart i was able to do this all in a afternoon
Here are a few pics!
