Carbon fiber on the interior trim
i just bought carbon fiber vinyl for the trim on the interior of my car, I think it looks pretty good....way better than the original silver pieces at least
It's also on the panels on the inside of the doors

I really didn't like the silver, I thought it stuck out too much. The carbon fiber is kind of stealth.
It is pretty good for stick on...that's what I do for a living, apply adhesive backed vinyl onto stuff. It's damn near a professional job.

The fit looks really good, how did u get in between the leather/plastic on the door? You cant even tell its stick on, well not from those pictures you cant.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good application of the vinyl, but I only like the genuine stuff anymore. I don't even like my carbon-look Momo shift knob anymore since I learned to tell the difference. Good job though.

Looks great, good job. I covered my wood trim about a 1.5 years ago with some aluminum vinyl and I've had no issues with peeling, fading, cracking and scratching. Should last for years.

There was someone selling the two center console pieces and the piece around the shifter AWHILE back, but I'm pretty sure he didn't have the door pieces done. Also don't know where he got them done.

Ok....(whew). After much searching, I found the member that had the stuff. He doesn't post much anymore, but you could try dropping him a PM. Member's name is Odiofyl.

heyyyy now. The door panels don't come out, I bought 8 ft X15" and cut it to the shape. on the door panels I gave it extra bleed on the outside and used one of those plastic thingies to push the ends into the cracks between the plastic and the leather so there's no seams. I also used a heat gun to make sure it laid down perfectly.
I bought it on ebay, $3 for 15" x 1'.
In person you can't tell it's adhesive backed, it looks like the pieces have all been replaced.

Well, I'd be willing to carbon fiber pieces for a small fee....
haha. Yeah, I've been doing this crap 5 days a week for 3 years, I have a little experience under my belt. I bet I could do window tint also.
I should start a business.

Looks great
I was going to ask how you got it to look so good, but then you answered "I do this for a living"
I like the wood trim, but I guess that makes me "old fashioned"
