A lot of Camaro owners have gone with our Carbon Fiber Wrap. More info on it in our vendor thread here including a link to a free sample so you can see and feel it in person!

How much do you need to cover the door panels, dash, steering wheel trim, gauge cluster and center console?

Generally speaking your best best is to measure what you want to cover and see how it fits into the larger rolls we offer. The 24" wide stock would be ideal for interior sections and other smaller areas. The 54" wide stock is better for large exterior panels, such as doing a hood wrap, roof wrap, or trunk wrap.

How the hell did you get it to bend and fit so well without and bubbles or kinks ??!!
Especially on the Fog Light and Steering wheel...

If you didn't take the door apart, did you cut off the fabric & use a sponger to tuck the edges in?

You're a Genis :-)

It looks amazing, I want to do it !, maybe in RED :-)

The fog lights I did make some cuts to relieve the pressure. If you're careful and line the pieces up, you can't even tell there's a cut.

For the door panels, I just laid the vinyl on and used a flat/blade squeegee to the edges and used an exacto knife to cut it. I have ABL and I cut along the top so that it still showed through.

I have since gone to a Remin CF overlay, and once I get my hands on some spare panels, I'll be laminating them in real CF.

Just get a heat gun and take your time, the vinyl looks great once you get it on

In terms of the bubbles, get the vinyl with the air release channels.
