carbon wrap and plastidip interior

Hi everyone, I got around to tinkering with my interior now that I'm on college break.

Carbon fiber is very hard to wrap in some cases. Even with heat gun, hair dryer to stretch in some cases.

I'm going for a two tone black and tan look. I wish it was originally black.

I plastidipped my door handles as they started to flake. And plastidip is also a pain, I thought it would be easier. The way the can works. It splatters all over and uneven.

I will have to tear apart my center console and rewrap the thing as the curves, are hard to get even stretched it will leave lines.

here are some teaser pics.
