Default Carbon Fiber Interior

I know this has been covered many times but i'm looking to get a carbon fiber interior for my 350. I have seen some people do Di-Noc wraps on their interiors and also some get kits. Carid still has their 33 piece kit for like $200. Are those overlay kits any good? I've seen some pics but nothing in person. Looking for something with some shine to it. I've heard the vinyl wraps don't have as much shine. Any info would be great. Thanks

There's always gaps on those kits. I sourced a local guy to wrap mine. I'm going to remove the parts my self and bring them to him. Hopefully it turns out ok

Would you go with the 3M 1080 wrap or the di-noc wrap I've seen some people wrap their stuff with Aerotect Vinyl and some with 3M glossy CF Vinyl. I also came across some posts about V Carbon but can't seem to find any online.

I had the Cadid kit. It did have some gaps on the edges but it was shiny like you're talking about and not like any wrap. I liked it. I did have the gauge surround done custom in real carbon fiber.
