Carbon Fiber wrap

I have a red 03 C230 sedan Kompressor, I am highly considering carbon fiber wrapping the boring original gray interior plastic trim after looking at some of your guy's mods, I'm considering doing it in red to match the exterior, anyone else do this with red? any thoughts or ideas on this? I'm worried it may look to tacky! What do you guys think?

I love Carbon Fiber, but the problem with the wrap is that, anyone who is not oblivious will know its a wrap. That alone wil stop me from ever doing it. TC
