Some Pics of My CF Wrapped Interior

Very happy with the results considering I've never attempted this before

Looks great. What did you use and how long did it take?

Maybe a quick write up if you have the time.

Good work!

I used 3M Di-Noc wrap that has a glossy finish:

I followed this thread to remove the interior trim:
http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=213833

The wrap was pretty simple to use once you get the hang of it and I watched some YouTube videos to educate myself. It really is great and forgiving material to work with. Removing the center console was a bit of a hassle while all other pieces popped out rather quickly. For the ashtray and trim around the shifter, I used a razor blade to get a more precise cut. I'm anal when it comes to my car, so I had to do my best to match the cf pattern all around to make it look uniform and OE as possible. Corners can be tricky, but you just need to take your time. My job is by no means perfect, but who doesnt get a little impatient at 10pm? I wouldn't mind re-doing some of the trim in the future, but I will enjoy it for now. Just be careful with all the "quality" plastic trim pieces when removing them with your interior tool kit. All in all, it took me about 5-6 hours of labor and <$100 of materials.

I ordered an interior trim removal tool kit from Amazon for really cheap:

Looks great. I helped my friend do it on his e92. They have a few more pieces cause of the trim in the back seat. I'm looking into brushed aluminum for mine.
