Hey Guys,
I been looking at some used 5's and had a question...is there a DIY out there to change the interior trim..also where can the trim be purchased at a reasonable price..Just do not think I will be happy with the brown wood look on some of the cars I have been looking at. I like the Piano black or carbon look
Also another point..some of the used 5's look pretty rough...looks like it will be a while before I find a suitable one...your thoughts

You can buy carbon fiber vinyl film and gloss black for that matter. Relatively cheap to obtain and not really super hard to do, just time consuming and tedious. You don't want to break the pieces when you remove them and they are much easier to cover off the vehicle than on.
