Interior wood grain going bye-bye

I want to get rid of the ugly wood grain in my interior. How much would it cost to swap it all for CF? Or should I just paint it all satin black or use matte black vinyl?

I haven't experienced this but saw many nice threads about it here.
Just lazy to search right now but the one I remember many people mention about is

http://www.carid.com/

ohh.. to keep Mr. Crab away from yourself,
do some search and post the links here..so do your homework
You'll be happy

I don't know what carid.com has but I guess cleanest job is taking all of them out and wraping them with CF vinyl

they make CF trim from the factory, but I wasnt sure if all pieces were available and how much, or is it easier to go another route...

They have the ones that you stick on the current dashboard right?
Don't think that will be a clean job.
Many did take out the parts and vinly them. Which is the route I suggest
Nice and clean job

Make sure you keep the pattern at the same direction on every piece.







I know they take out the middle pieces but not sure about the door panels, guess they just do it as it is on the door.

Like others have said, it would be way easier to wrap it. I looked into replacing my wood trim pieces with the darker wood trim that comes on the 07-08 models (looks way nicer IMO) and it's insanely expensive.

Just to replace the woodgrain pieces in the center (shifter trim and the two cubbies) comes out to almost $200. The four door trims come out to nearly $280.

So if you really want to spend $480 to replace all the trims, then go for it. Honestly, I think it's a huge waste of money. The stock CF trims are faux carbon fiber and they don't look that good anyway IMO. I think the 3m dinoc wrap looks better and it's way cheaper too.


Here's the part lists for you though:

The vinyl looks good. Probably cheaper too.

The OEM Carbon Fiber will not cover all of your woodgrain.

I got my kit from www.NYC Dashes.com. It will cover all of the woodgrain.

Actually, a graffiti wrap would be kinda pimp in the right colors... maybe a 2 tone black and white
