So I have this crazy idea of buying some CF fabric and taking off my trim parts, wrapping them with this new stuff, and putting them back on...

Anyone ever tried doing this??? I've seen it done in folks' car and it looks badass -- much better than the real CF IMO because it's matted and doesn't have the clear lacquer over it to make it look shiny......

If someone can point out how to pull out the trim parts..would be much obliged...
