I'm going to wrap the interior trim on my 335 with carbon fiber material. The car is Montego Blue (pepsi) with black interior. Im thinking of doing silver carbon fiber instead of black becuase I think if would be a nice contrace... just wanted to see what you guys think between silver or black..

Please dont suggest painting it as I do not want to go that root as I like the carbon fiber look.

Also if anyone has any pic of silver carbon fiber trim. (wrapped) it would be appreciated.
John was helping me wrap my interior we still have to do the door wood panels but I still have some alot left over if you need (charcoal carbon fiber) ... $25 picked up?

taking off the door panels on a E60 is a breeze. I think there are a few diy's. It's only like 2 screws per door and the rest are clips

what color is your interior? If it is black, then I'd lighten it up and go with silver.

Mine is deep sea blue on Dakota brown. I also have a black headliner.

Can't go wrong with wrapping as long as you get a good installer.

My interior is black. My headliner is grey. I think the silver would look really good against the black. I'm gonna install it myself as I previously years ago did the entire headliner in suede in my E46 so I know how to wrap.

oh, I though you were going to use the new 3M Di-Noc carbon vinyl. Don't need any spray adhesive and is rated for indoor and outdoor use.
