Carbon fiber wrap interior wood
New to the forum.... Scored a spare set of the complete wood trim for my car so I decided to wrap it up in glossy carbon fiber.
Definitely time consuming but I am loving the outcome, will post pics once installed.
I decided to do this because I am still waiting for MB to call me to replace the faded wood in my car.

Very nicely done. How much did you end up spending on materials?

All I can say it is wow - that looks like it came that way. Since vinyl wrapping is new to me, let me ask how longs does it last/how durable is it? How hard is i to change back or change to a different wrap?

It is very durable it's meant to be on the exterior or interior of the vehicle. It's a few time consuming task. All 4 door panels need to be removed in order to do it right.

+ on what brand you went with.
I usually end up using 3m 1080. But it lacks the shine that yours seems to have.
I normally get most of the materials from this site:
https://www.metrorestyling.com/
They have a ton of different options and their shipping is super fast. (I'm not affiliated at all with them.)
