Hey whats up guys....
So i finished painting anything dark brown (Top Parts) black and wrapped all the wood trims with carbon fiber.... It was a PITA but well worth it since its now done.

UPDATE:
Did not want to make a new thread so here's a few pics of the front i finished up.

Enjoy =)

Default Interior project

Looks like we are on the same page. Looks good so far I am also working on a similar project. Word of advice take your time and it will come out just how you want or even better. Patience. Check out my progress. Ran out of carbon fiber for my dash but will resume once in. By the way any suggestions for removing the wood dash/ventilator piece. Just wanted some additional info.
Good luck on the rest of your project, post some pics as you work thru the stages good inspiration to finally complete my already 2 year project.

Similar to how I want my Jap Soarer interior to look... I'm going for black dash, and the 'line' of the glovebox, all the way from door to door will be white, and the underneath black again (so the white divides it)

And real carbon fibre sheet covering the wood... And an IS300 wheel... Perfect combo

Nice work mate

The wood trim was actually covered by this carbon fiber fabric material. Looks great and u could actually feel the weaves on the fabric)
it gives it a nice flat look, not shiny

The trim you chose actually really reminds me of the carbon-weave style leather trim available in the current M3. Very good choice, looks like its coming together well so far
