I know but is expensive like hell...

First of all...the carbon fiber is about 120 Dollars ( a sheet of 1 mt x30 cm )
and i have to buy the center console, because this is called skining ( that is covering the original center console with real carbon fiber...( time is about 10 Hours ) but i have taken 3 days ( depends on the how it drys, and you can give the next layer )

i like your grill! looks like mine lol.

i think cf trims look better on light interiors cause of the contrast. even though black on black is sick.

not really
120 $ for wrapping the center console & 10 hours of work.........
thats around 300$ for wrapping the center console and door trims....
you can get a full set for around 500 600$, 8 PIECES...

but im sure it feels great to do it yourself specially if the quality is good....

Well.. 300usd is quite cheap instead of 800 plus in pound sterling .. not including the shipping cost too

Anyway HellsAngel, could you please pm me where can I get the 8 pieces in CF.. I'm very interested.

Thanks

nicely done... I think doing the cf side mirror wouldn't do much of a justice since it's black.. but good work..

Looks good! Charge people to make em, I'm sure you can get a good amount of money.

Did you do your lights too or did you buy em black?
