Vinyl Wrapping / Re-Wrapping Over Weekend

Hey Everyone... My woodgrain is looking tired, I wrapped some pieces, but I decided to re-wrap in simulated matte carbon fiber for the interior, and gloss black around the tail-lights, taking cue from some of the newer benzes. I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but let me know what you all think... I'm debating changing a few pieces... But I've been wrapping for a while so it's not too big of a deal to re-do a piece or two. Oh, and I know my right turn signal isn't as tinted as my left, thank VHT Nightshades... And yes, it was clear-coated with UV resistant clear.

CF trim looks nicely done and sport, but that wood grain has that touch of elegance and class.

Depends on what look suits you best. Nice wrap

I completely agree... If my woodgrain was in better condition I would have stayed with it. I wish they would have sealed the edges, the white creeping up is what finally got to me.
