Not quite the finished product but what do you guys think, black or silver weave? My car is tungsten pearl with black/black interior so both options flow pretty well.

Black CF looks better. I have same car Tungsten Pearl with black interior. Is that CF vinyl wrap? Did you get it precut or DIY?

Thanks for the feedback. It is real carbon fiber, skinned over the woodgrain but still DIY. I've gotten the whole process start to finish down to about 2 weeks. So much more time demanding than vinyl but you never have to worry about the edges lifting, getting a rip or anything. You should do your roof since you obviously know how to wrap, it changes the entire look of the car, especially on TP.

Do you have the templates for the door window switch panel L and R and center shift console? Im thinking about covering the wood. Ive already covered the roof window spoiler, rear emblem, and steering wheel inserts in 5D CF vinyl
