Carbon Fiber Wrap FINISHED - Interior, Mirrors, and Grille
Hey Guys,
So after debating a bit about what I wanted to do with my interior, and where I wanted to go with the mirror covers and grille I decided to do something different than I found here on the forum. First of I purchased a new Single fin Grille just like FGEAR's and AMGFAN's. I wrapped the chrome part of the grille with carbon, just as my interior along with my mirror covers. I had to remove all pieces except the mirror covers, that stayed on the car while the wrap was being put on.
I think it really turned out great on the car.

How much would they charge just to wrap the center console and the door trims??
What's the turnaround?
I have heard that once wraped in the carbon matt, you can coat these with a few coats of Urethane, and you will get the glossy carbon fiber look. Is that possible..
Thanks

That looks great
Is there a DIY on removing all of the wood trim in the car? the only one i could find just showed the door panel pieces but the center console trim looks like a pain . . .
And if you dont mind me asking how much did the vinyl cost and where did you buy it?

$135 is what it was dropped off and picked up by me. The shop is local so it took me 20 min to get there and 20 min to come back. The turn around time was super fast 2 days or so. If I have an appt scheduled before hand it might be done that same day. Call them to find out exacly.

I just got a quote from Xtreme Graphics for just the interior wood trim pieces for when i pick up my car
He said it would be around $160 total including shipping from where i live - Beverly Hills, CA and the turn around time would be 2 days plus shipping time
Not bad at all but i am going to see if i can find a place with that same type of CF Wrap locally so i dont have to deal with shipping
