Really nice guy and a pleasure to work with. I sent him the pieces and he stripped/prepped/wrapped/finished and returned them within about 3 weeks.

The work looks clean but having the weave that "in your face" looks tacky to me. Just my opinion.

Thanks Spider, you certainly inspired me to get rid of my wood trim.... here's my attempt, bit of a £39 gamble as i wasnt sure how well the carbon would go with grey dash...

I also have the 3M carbon wrap (not completely done)... For you guys with the grey interiors: maybe you could go for White Carbon wrap? Or just aluminium grey...

Looks really clean man - very NICE! Only thing is... 800 bones and you had to do some of the labor? I think John at Motorcepts could have beat that price. No disrespect - please don't take it the wrong way, It looks really sweet. John - can you chime in with some info here? I haven't been down your way in a while but I'm assuming you still offering this service... I think it might be time to get it done. Spider's interior has motivated me... It's time.

U doin just fine!! Wood is !!! I´d leave the dark carbon on the vertical parts and go for the grey carbon on the horizontal parts by the gearstick and idrive button and ashtray. Would look sweet in yours!
