carbon wrapped vinyl over wood trim.

[Throatpunch]

The wife and I aren't big fans of wood trim so I began wrapping my wood trim pieces in CF vinyl




I did not remove the glovebox because the panel is held in by rivets.
I'll be doing the doors tomorrow if I can figure out how to pull the trim (looks like the aluminum trim below the wood is screwed in

Looks good! I haven't seen this on an e70 yet. Did u use 3M Di-noc?

i had some Dinoc like stuff from metrorestyling.com
I was wrapping my roof of my Evo and it ripped, so i took it all off and started using it to wrap random x5 parts

It is the 3M 1080 finish. The dinoc is more of a matte finish, which is what I personally prefer for the interior and resembles the factory carbon fiber look for the interior trim the most.

Not my car, but I do vinyl work, and this is one of the cars I did.

Did mine this past summer...

Here is a thread from Energetic about doing this.

FYI, I did the doors and console with the trim in place. It's pretty easy to do if you take your time. Hint: Cut the material about 1/4" longer/wider than needed and tuck it in between the trim and the leather. A heat gun or hair dryer will help. Use a sharp exacto knife and go slowly to cut it along the aluminum trim strips.

Enjoy!

Great job! I love playing with Di-Noc (we have it available HERE), my car is on the over side of being wrapped B pillars, trim, most of the center console

I've been thinking alot about doing this lately. but I hate the thought of removing the center console to do the long trim panels on next to the seats. How did you wrap it without taking the center console out? the panel goes under the dash and console lids. did you apply any primer?

so far i've only done the steering wheel controls in 3m di-noc cuz the peeling was starting to look really bad.

can you post some pics of your wrap?

Hi,

My dash/glove box pictures look pretty much like the others in the post, but here are a couple of the center console.

Cut a couple of long skinny pieces and start in the middle and work your way out toward the edges/ends. No primer needed, but clean the plastic (wood) off well before starting. You can tuck the extra under the carpet at the bottom and under the trim pieces on the top...

Cheers.
