Default Just wrapped my interior trim

With black carbon fiber vinyl from Pep Boy's. It was like 20$ for a huge roll. It went on really easy and the whole process was a lot easier than I expected. Only question is, how in the world do I wrap the cup holder lid?!?!? I'll post pics up tomorrow when it's not dark out.

best way is to take it out of the car so you can measure and cut things properly. This was one of the first mods I did when I got my car. You can view pics of it in the link of my sig. It nly takes bout 5 min to remove that part of your interior

I did remove all the pieces to wrap it. I'm just having trouble wrapping the lid and covering up the woodgrain because of the rounded edges all the way around. I want to be able to cover up the wood grain when it is open or closed.

Got a heat gun or hairdrier at home? That'll help with the curved edges I would assume. Worked for the tint on my fog housings.

I used a lighter to slightly melt the corners into place. Then I used my fingers to round them. Don't hold the flame to it too long or it will burn. Took me 8 hours to wrap all my wood trim cuz I'm super ****. Mine looks near perfect.

The work looks good! But carbon fiber on tan leather to me doesn't look right. Did you have woodgrain underneath?

Very good job with yours
I just think it would match your leather if it was white or silver carbon fiber wrap

^ nope someone did the white before and took it off quickly and replaced it with black. The white/ silver CF only looks good with full black interior
