My new INTERIOR mod
 
Some of my trims pieces got some cracks ,plus that i really hate the light wood
so i got me 1 yard of DINOC CF and start my wrapping
Took me two hours to do all this included time to remove and reinstall the trims and console.

Looks good!!

I am noticing some cracks on the center console.
Where did you order the DI-NOC CF from and what was the cost per yard?

your key chain looks like mine....got the L fob as well (is300).

Mode looks nice. I was just looking at redoing mine the the brushed silver.

That looks really good..:)

Ive been thinking about doing the same for a while...

I have a spare set of interior trim, and this convinced me that i should put the CF on..:)

3M DI-NOC looks and feels very real, but is also is very expensive. For a 36"x48" piece, it costs around $100 on eBay.

Did you consider a carbon fiber fabric instead of 3M DI-NOC? Neffywrap is $35 per linear yard (36"x55") and you can find it for cheaper on eBay (as low as $25 per linear yard). The only downside to this fabric is that it needs glue to stick to the trim, not like the no/little residue type of adhesive on 3M DI-NOC. Still, I think fabric would be cheaper as you can always remove the glue residue by 3M Adhesive Remover or Goo Gone.

Looks great, you did a great job. Even tho the 3m may cost more, i think its worth it. Id imagine its alot easier and cleaner to install opposed to the glue on version.

With some googling, here's what I found.
Oneautosport.com has it on sale now.

I have the carbon fiber fabric in silver sitting in my house ( 2 yards).. That thing is harder to do so i went ahead with the 3M Di-NOC one.
Who want it i let it gofor cheap.

Is it enough for all the trim with the 12x48 piece..?
