just finished this car up yesterday, took 13+hrs to do this job! removing door panels is a nightmare! all in all the owner is very happy with the results! i did all 4 pieces around the steering wheel, and the entire console all the way down the center. what do you think?

Cool! However, I'm on the fence about the steering wheel. Looks like the CF pattern is incosistent and is pointing in 3 different directions.

your wrapping work looks good, just not sure about the overall look in that car's interior. Not feeling it.

Saw this on another forum and I still like it. One thing that I'm not crazy about is the shift knob. I don't know why but it looks weird to me. Looking back at it, I guess it would have looked weirder if you hadn't covered it.
Good job on matching everything up. Wish there was someone around me that did this work.

agreed as well. I wrapped my interior myself as well, but I only did the trim paneling, didn't go down the middle where the air controls/cd panels are. Also went with a matte finish of the carbon fiber wrap, I didnt like how the shiny other stuff is. otherwise, good work with the craftsmanship, just a bit too much carbon fiber for me though.

Is there a reason the pattern on the steering wheel is not lined up in the same direction, while the rest of the interior seems to be lined up pretty well?
Looks good. Some personal choices that I wouldn't do are definitely there, but as far as quality of work, from what I can see on the pics, looks great
What area are you in? I've been wanting to wrap a few interior pieces for a long time
