Default Silver CF and Painted Interior

One common problem with our cars is that the wood grain likes to chip off as many already know. Well instead of getting another wood grain piece around the shifter, I decided to do a custom silver carbon fiber one. Then my buddy helped me paint the rest of the center console pieces black. This totally changed the look of the interior! Within the next few weeks, I hope to finish off all door switches in the silver cf as well.

Pwidow,

It looks great! Did you just wrap CF around the shifter and then just painted your console pieces with a gloss black paint? Also, did you get your instrument cluster done by lextech? That looks good, too!

It is actually a PPG BMW paint. It's black with some silver metallic in it. I will try and get a better pic of the paint later.

Thanks man. Yes, I overlayed the stock piece with real carbon fiber and painted the console pieces.

No, I actually did the cluster myself with the info I found on here on how to do it.


Thanks everyone!! Will update this thread when I get more pieces finished.

Thanks, but I didn't paint them my buddy did. I took the pieces apart, sanded them and got them ready for paint. So for any painter it shouldn't be a big deal at all.
