Carbon Fiber Coating

Hi guys!

So, the mechanic friend of ours who installed my chrome rings was talking about carbon fiber coating for the interior. He said he'd seen it on a few cars and like the way it looked. Has anyone done this to their X? If so, how do you like it? Does anyone have pics?

Thanks!

~Michelle~

Jan/jmh did this mod on his X:

Get a carbon fiber visor and you'd be all set to gangsta lean and roll!

Carbon fiber looks gangsta? Have you seen it in person?

I've seen it on an E46 3 series, and I was JOKING about you being gangsta!

It looks good to me!

I've never seen it in person... only the pics that Jan posted. It looks very sharp, though. So, aside from Jan, has anyone seen it in person?

It looks great with Jan's interior, but mine is just plain black leather...

Yeah, Michelle certainly belongs to the gangsta and sista demographic.

I'd love to see that CF in person before I decide, but from the looks of it, it's a sharp looking, classy mod.
