Default 5D Carbon Fiber Center Console Wrap


Here is the newly wrapped center console for my 2005 GS 430. The vinyl that was used was purchased off of Amazon and is the Vivid 5D carbon fiber wrap. It’s not easy to work with but if you take your time you can get an excellent result, just remember to use a heat gun and an super sharp blade. Most of the pieces I had to create a pattern for but some of it was done freehand. What do you think?

The weave going in opposite directions would bother me, but it looks pretty good for vinyl.

Looks good. The 5D stuff can be a hit or miss sometimes, since it is a Chinese made material, so quality control of it isn't always as good as the actual name brand materials.

Yea, looks sweep. Could you do the overhead console too?
i worry that there are too many “depressions” for it to work.

I thought about making a mold for a true CF build, yet considering how light it is, decided to not spend the time, right now...
