Carbon Fiber Wrapped Interior Trim

Just got the car back. Turned out great. The fabric has some texture to it to add character.

Very nice, how much if you don't mind me asking. Did you get a "core" refund for your interior or did you keep it.

CF Fabric is about $30-40 a yard. 3M spray adhesive for about $6. Pull out the pieces, spray, wrap, tuck back in. You can either do it yourself, or hire someone like I did (friends at the dealership) to do it for you. Labor for me was $350 to get it done. Total price $386.

All you need is 1 yard to take care of everything. Not sure about that one on ebay. I bought one before, but was too thick. The one Eurodyne had was the thinnest I found which helped make it more flush. I'm sure you can find the same one ED has on ebay, but not sure which one and wasn't worth the hassle of finding out.

Looks awesome, can't beat that price either

That looks clean as hell, did it come ready/molded allready for your trims ready to install? Or you had to cut it?

Door pins? You can get them from ebay. Unfortunately you can only change the fronts easily.

I am loving the look of it, but I am curious as to how hard of a DIY it would be . . For $350 I'd rather do everything myself.

Dude, it's cold up here in the bay area! haha

It's one big 1 yard by 1 yard sheet of fabric. You just cut approximately what size you want wrapped, and just tuck in the loose fabric inside, so doesn't need a precise cut.

detergent and water. It's just fabric.

Well, removing the pieces is probably the hardest. Then placing it back in making sure you get it in tight on the edges. You can do it yourself, but it's several hours worth of work.
