Although not horrible yet, they are enough to bug the poop out of me.

Saw these and wondering if anyone tried them?

Thinking of buying them and then repainting to the shade I need. They are covers and just stick on

Have you thought of wraping them in CF?

If you are still under warranty, they cover it. Just had mine replaced under warranty coverage.

04 545 90 k I think I'm out



And thinking of the CF on the wood but not on the switch cover. But thinking it maybe a little too much if I do both.

3m Di-Noc is your friend. Their CF vinyl comes in 6 colours (black, grey, silver, white, beige, brown) and is more subtle compared with real CF.

I posted a thread recently where I wraped my gear knob (stop laughing), turned out really nice and I'm planning on doing the steering wheel trim next.


These covers are a bit lame IMO. They will be a little raised and are a clumsy solution.
