Default Woodgrain to Carbonfiber (Interior Trim -PICS INSIDE)

Decided to get rid of the wood look (Never was a fan of it) and wrap my trim pieces in carbon fiber. The shift **** didnt get wrapped because im gonna buy a black one but after thinking about it, i might try to wrap the shift **** and see how it looks. I know its not REAL carbon fiber but i dont care to spend $500+ on interior trim pieces. Im very pleased with the results and best of all it costed me under $20

Thanks and yeah the gloss makes it look 100x better than the matte finish.

That is the nicest faux carbon wrap I have ever seen. Very impressed.

If I had a black interior, I would be seriously tempted to do this as well.
