Carbon fiber rolls for DIY
Does anyone have info on that carbon fiber wrap on a roll that some guys use to cover the interior trim pieces?
I'm looking to cover the front part of my airbox to match the renntech box. Thought I've seen guys here use the carbon fiber wrap over the interior pieces and it looks like it turns out pretty nice.

You're going to need different CF wrap for the airbox because it'll have to withstand the heat inside the engine bay. Google "carbon fiber wrap" and you'll get some results.

i wrapped my interior and it was good for about 1 year. i live in Cali (HOT) so it started peeling and it got frustrating so i peeled the trim from the door. I think i should have done a better job of cleaning the panels so the adhesive sticks better.
Anyway i dont think itll be easy to keep the wrap on the airbox cuz it gets too hot. you will run into the same problem and it wont match the shiny look. If you still decide to do it, look for Di-Noc CF wrap its the best quality and easiest to apply
