So im thinking about wraping my interior with carbonfiber. Ive seen many many other people do it and I was wondering what is the best type of wrap to get? I have tan leather seats but gray interior pieces. Im also getting the carbon fiber shift ***. What would look best? Glossy? Also what website should I order this from? Thanks for all your input!

I got mIne from Auto Vinal Solutions. Go with the 3M carbon fiber wrap if you want that. Easy to cut and apply.

Dang this is perfect! Exactly what im going for! How hard was it to cut out everything? It seems around the shifter you have to cut it pretty thin =/

Its easy its just time consuming. You have to take your time. Took me about 1.5 total.

You need heat gun
xacto knife or something similar
And i would recommend 3m brand

Stick with 3M, for what it costs and the labour involved, don't cheap out.

I did mine without a heat gun because I didn't have one at the time. Worked fine except some of the outer edges. I would recommend using a heat gun or blow dryer, it will be easier and look better.

Buy a proper knife with a brand new blade, one like the pic below.

Thanks for the tips! Ill be sure to get the knife

Definitely get that knife, i forgot to mention that. You can get them on Amazon or Ebay for next to nothing. Like anything its all in the prep work. Total time for me was around 2 hours but i took my time and made sure it looked OEM. Most of the time was spent on removing all the pieces. Post pictures when you get it finished.

This sounds like a good thing to do. If we let the pro do it, how much are we expected to pay?

I recently wrapped center console and door panels. I ordered many samples from metrorestyling.com before selecting Arlon Ultimate PremiumPlus Gloss Pearl Silver to match existing color on existing interior door handles. I ordered 10 sq.ft. (5'x2') but ended up using only half if that. Found great threads on removing interior parts.

Wrapped myself by removing each panel. Get the 3M 1080 series wrap and and heat gun to help. Maybe a panel removing kit will help. One time of $15.

Wow amazing work! I really like the blue one. Is it changing color vinyl wrap? How long does it take you to do all this? Very good work man.

Sridz1991

No color changing vinyl just 3m matte blue metallic wrap. Took me about 5-6 hrs since removing the radio and doing is a pain. plus need to patiently work the vinyl to get a good finish so dont rush and do it take the time and effort to do it right the first time. Planning on wrapping the outside also in the same color later on.

Wrapped mine with 3M Vinyl also. Easy to do, just time consuming.
