Want to wrap the wood trim
I wanted to have the wood trim on my e55 wrapped in carbon fiber. Does anyone know someone local that does it and does a good job? I live in the los angeles area. In the mean time anyone have pics if there e55 with the wood trim wrapped?

Although I have not used his services yet, but his vinyl/carbon wrapping skills looks stellar. I believe he's in the OC area but also offers mobile service.

Be prepared to disassemble quite a bit to get all the pieces off

Also, O.Carbon does very nice real CF for a reasonable price.

Looks great, really changed the look of the interior...

Personally, i would have done it 5d carbon fiber vinyl for that gloss look.

Heard you can switch center console to the roll up. Thought I saw a post on it. I saw a bunch in the junkyard awhile ago. If I see one, I'll look out for ya; they're cheap!

I’ve sent flat rate box to UK for $36 on door handles. If center console cost $40-60 and shipping cost $100...thinks it’s worth the conversion. Just thinking 🤔 Not sure how much cost actually are but I’ll let ya know. But in the meantime, do some research on conversion.
