Do you have any pics? I guess, you had to use clear cote when applied, right?

Thank you man. As soon as my custom shift knob comes in i will take some good pics

Whether or not you prefer carbon fiber trim to wood is a subjective taste thing I will not debate, but what isn't subjective is that you are covering up real burled wood with vinyl contact paper. Even if wood isn't your style and is too "old world" looking for you it has to be better than knowing your Mercedes is covered in pepBoys style stickon paper.

I will give you a for your skill in the application, looks like you did a really nice job. But I can guarantee you will take this off in a few months and say "what was I thinking".

I like the red contrast. It reminds me of the two tone red/black MB used on some cars.

nice work andy

A lot of us are not fans of the wood trim thats why we are covering it in CF vinyl. Some of us who can afford it get the real deal and buy the actual CF pieces. Us who cant or dont want to spend the money on it just cover it with vinyl.

I have more than that covered in CF vinyl so i am definitely not taking it off in a month.

What i dont understand is: You dont like the color or you dont like the idea of putting vinyl over the wood?

He doesnt like both LOL...just guessing.

CLKboi, you got pm.

That looks phenomenal great job! You have me motivated to do mine

just do it already...

I thought I was the only one that felt this way. It is like putting carpet over real hardwood floors. This is an MB not a honda. I don't see the need to do this. BUT with that said, the install job looks good.

I don't understand this post at all.
Preference for carbon fiber trim is subjective: true.
The fact that real burled wood lies beneath the vinyl is not subjective: true.
But presuming that CLKboi will consider this fact and will likely take this off in a few months...is making assumptions on something that is subjective again.

Becasue it boils back down to wheter Clkboi likes it or not and has nothing to do with anyone's opinion or the fact that it's real wood.

I vinyled my "real" wood in brushed ss. It looks much better than the wood and I will not be changing it. It matters very little what materials are being replaced - it looks and feels much better to me. It's like telling someone they shouldn't replace that solid gold faucet becasue it's so luxurious and expensive, even though the brushed steel faucet looks 10 times better but it's a cheaper material. My point is the materials is less critical than the end aesthetic - which is personal preference and subjective.

I GUARANTEE that if CLkboi takes it off in a few months, It won't be becasue he's thinking about the "real" wood beneath, but that the red carbon maybe doesn't look as good as he thought.

Just an FYI. I discovered that 3M released a Glossy Black CF Di-Noc material (they call it the 1080 series).

I've been waiting for 3M to release the glossy version of there renowned Di-Noc (all my CF is glossy), so once I get a hold of somebody who sells it (Don Nguyen maybe) I'll try to update my interior too!

good to know - maybe I'll do my roof in glossy black carbon!

The last piece of my inteior has been wrapped. Finally can get it done .

M-Benz, that looks amazing. I am waiting for my Di Noc to be delivered. I have the same color interior as you so I am hoping mine will be just as good as yours! Great Work. I aprreciate the DIY. Thanks ( I will post pics of mine as soon as I am finished.)

it will looks good. No worried

I also may do my roof with the same. Do you think it will look good? My car color is black opal.

oh yea.....

That looks awesome, Andy. Did you end up taking the door panel off?

Nice Andy! Looks good!

lol im still waiting on 3m to make a glossy 3m wrap

they need to hurry up on that *****. meanwhile, once i get my laptop up and running again, i will attempt to do a cf wrap again but add some clear lacquer on it like a member did earlier to give the look of wet cf. and since my laptop takes a beating from day to day use, i'llsee how long that last before pulling the trigger on the interior.

nonetheless, interior looking hawt andy!

Lol thanks for the comments guys .

Wes,

I never take the door panel off since the day 1 ... Just applied and cut it .
