Default Carbon fiber Interior Trim

So i was planning to buy a carbon fiber interior kit for my 95 sc400.
Have any of you guys experienced putting carbon fiber in? I dont wanna wrap i just
want to buy a kit. Any ideas on where to get them?

I was thinking of the same thing, but then I thought it might look overdone. You can have too much CF, after all. Which interior do you have?

I'm thinking of getting some of the wrap on Ebay and going that route.

I have black leather. I rather just get pre made carbon fiber molds. The wrap will take to long.

Pre-made carbon fiber molds? Really?? For the SC ??? Pray tell, where from? Sorry for the drama...But unless you know of something I don't, they do not exist. Let me know if I am misinformed?

The dry carbon look of the wrap looks way better on interior than the look of glossy real carbon fiber would IMO. Like factory BMW e46 m sport technic or e90 m3 look. $25 and flows so nice with black interior. Even though it's cheaper I think it has a classier look than real carbon fiber.

That would entirely depend on the vinyl

daily, thanks for the link. It gave me an idea on how to pull together my build...

Carbon fabric on the dash and all taupe surfaces (cause I hate that at this age it looks BROWN!). Then a repaint of the chunnel, and silver accent paint for the wood trim and some assorted pieces. That way, it's an updated look without going overboard - and a good/new use of CF, in my view.
