Default 3M 1080 gloss carbon fiber interior wrap

I don't know why, but I just don't end up posting very many pictures of the interiors that I have wrapped. I thought I had more pictures of this interior, but only one of them turned out well enough to post, since the others ended up being too dark, due to angle/lighting inside the car. This is the interior on an IS250/IS350 that I wrapped all of the hard wood pieces with the 3M 1080 gloss carbon fiber finish (front/rear door window switch pieces and this main center piece). The owner of this car had me wrap the pieces while still in the car. It's a nice change from wood, for those who are looking to get rid of the wood look or going after a sportier look.

I had no trouble with air bubbles when I did this... Just bought another set of oem trim pieces to wrap in genuine CF though so i won't have vinyl for much longer.

Looks good. How did the sides of the cup holder and ash tray turn out?

Looks awesome. I wrapped the interior on my 5 series. It really cleans up the wood look on most cars

You can always have the parts shipped to me, which is what a lot of non local guys do as well, who want their interiors wrapped.

I would like you to do it for me. But, can someone give me an instruction on how to remove that center piece (where the shift **** and ash tray). So, I can send it to Don. Thanks!

im looking for that little chrome piece that is near the shift ****, the piece that surrounds the gear cut out. Mine started to chip, so I removed it and repainted it chrome, however, its not the same chrome as the rest of the interior trim. Is it possible to just get that piece?

Sorry for not responding sooner. For some reason I wasn't getting post notifications from this thread. That piece is a bit too small and oddly shapped to wrap with vinyl.
