Decided to have my wood trim wrapped in CF. Came out great! What do you guys think?

Did u take any pics while u doing it ? We need DIY for that kind of mods lol. By the way, it looks really good man. And where did u buy your CF ?

+1 and did you do it yourself or pay someone to get it done?

Came out good, I have been thinking about doing this also. A DIY would be nice!

There are DIY kits available but from what read they do not always cover 100% on the edges so thats a deal breaker. The only other thing I could find was a total replacement, you send yours in and get other modded ones back but it was I think couple K. Based on my research I think the only option is to remove all the trim and get a pro wrap. Have a buddy that does that on large trucks and other maint vehicles for a living for ~ 15 years. I will definitely get my done along with the roof wrap. Hopefully a 12 pack plus a good steak and cost of materials will cover it

Looks awesome! I'm tired of the wood trim. Still considering CF or brushed aluminum. As its vinyl I guess one could do what ever color they want as there are so many to choose from. Gun metal would be interesting as well....

I'm going to try it soon. Maybe over 4th of July weekend

Nice!

Looks like that 3M Di-Noc Matte Carbon Fiber material. If they had Glossy 3M Carbon Fiber material I would try it too...

better than wood, i have black wood so no need for me to CF it.

They have Glossy here (https://mbworld.org/forums/interior-...hes-total.html)

BTW: What kind of bulbs do you have in your projector fogs?

I'm running 8000K HIDs on my fogs (same temp as my low beams).

Where did you get the kit from? Bought mine from HIDextra and 2 weeks in one of the bulbs are done for already..

I've had them for about a year and I've had no problems!

Thanks!

LOL didnt take any pictures while I was working on the car but I should have. I removed all the pieces myself (thanks to members on the forum) and paid a guy 200 to have them wrapped. It took total about 5 hrs to remove and wrap. It came on REALLY clean and all the corners came out perfect. Definitely worth it in my opinion

I only have the hard time on the pieces from the door panels...its a nightmare to take them out. The rest is jsut fine.

Agreed, the fronts werent too hard, but the rears were a pain in the as.s....

Just a question, how did you pull out the top piece where the buttons/hazard button is?

Thanks!!

its a video of the 3m di-noc but they are experimenting with clear coat. makes it quite glossy. anyways check out the video, its interesting.

maybe you can work around it. i experimented with my laptop. i took a sheet much bigger than my laptop just in case. there is a cut off line and i cut along that line to get a nice even cut.

how did you remove the door panel trim. im scared to break it. it costs like 300+ to replace. i was thinking if i were to wrap it, i would just do it white it was on the door. wouldnt be too bad, i dont think

This place is near by my house. i got most interior LED from them and works fine.

Clkboi

Wow that awesome i know i would spend a lot of money if i had the close to my house lol.

I get all my error free LED's from them as well. Prompt shipping and never had problems with what i bought.

looks really good!

I wrapped a little more than just the trims, about a month ago.
Took me about 2 hrs, used up 1X4 feet of material about $30.

dynomite05

Does your turn signal still shine through that?

bheng

hey guys. i was talking to a couple of friends yesterday. i mentioned cf and they said that it was a little rice. lol

i think its just a sporty touch that we add to a classy car =)

so what would you guys say if someone told you your clk is like a rice rocket now. haha and not the classy car it was meant to be?

i got an extra shift piece coming in the mail. so ima wrap it for fun and see how it will look hahaha
