Thumbs up Carbon Trim for Coupe (picture heavy)

Hey everyone...so it's been a while since I posted any mods worth mentioning, but I've just finished my interior trim project. I used 3M dinoc carbon fiber vinyl to wrap all my interior pieces. Still have to do the steering wheel but everyting else is done.....really happy with the results














***Sorry about the picture quality....sometimes my phone takes good pictures and sometimes it doesn't :/***

Hell of a project there, I'd probably get pissed off trying to do it, especially on the curves etc. Good work.

The quality of the work is amazing. I'm glad you like the way it looks more than I do! It looks tedious, but came out almost flawless from the pics.

Looks fantastic. Great workmanship, or patience, or both.

One comment, the steering wheel looks out of place now, if you wrap those two pieces, it will look well finished.

I know I dont have the patience to do this, so kudos to you.

looks really good. i think the only thing i would have changed is maybe left some of the interior trim pieces (cup holder cover, cd holder) silver.

Thanks for the compliments everyone! Ya it takes a lot of patience....but well worth it. I'll be doing the steering wheel this upcoming week...been putting it off because the airbag has to come out was going to do it today, but I ended up putting together a DIY on how to wrap interior pieces with this material....should be up in a while....still working on it....expect lots of pics and some video also BTW....the material is pretty easy to find. Most local vinyl shops stock it, but you can purchase it online for a lot cheaper....just google 3M carbon fiber di-noc and shopping results will show up

That shifter knob looks great! Where did you get it? also, is that a short shifter?

Thanks! it's a MOMO Nero shifter.....this one: http://www.google.com/products/catal...ed=0CF0Q8gIwAg
It's not a short shifter....i wish it was though. Just looks shorter cause the MOMO piece is way smaller...and alot more comfortable i should mention.

The work looks great!

Along with the steering wheel, have you considered the door handles or e-brake handle?

Shift knob looks great too, I had a momo on my legacy gt and love it. Does the boot latch on to clips on the bottom of the knob or will it fall when you move the knob around?
