Interior trim wrapped with CF fabric

mugen_ferio · 08-02-2008, 11:58 AM

First of all, I would like to thank Soni for providing the fabric. At a fraction of the cost of replacing the trim, the fabric does the job pretty well. It's not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with it. Here are the pics:

Wow!!! That's freakin' awsome. Bet it cost way less then my OEM CF Trim. Great mod!

Exacc · 08-02-2008, 12:06 PM

Wow! How did you wrap it that well? Its really good, and I think it looks better than the actual CF trim!

mugen_ferio · 08-02-2008, 12:09 PM

thanks!

I took out each trim, sprayed 3M adhesive, and then wrapped it on really tight. And then just gotta cut out the holes for the vents and other things. It really wasn't too hard, but takes time. I like the look and the feel of it too

Looks very good but doesn't have that gloss effect though.

that looks very good!

Bimmer Nerd · 08-02-2008, 12:27 PM

looks good, whats the price difference between the real carbon fiber trims and the trim you have ???

Tallest · 08-02-2008, 12:34 PM

who sells this fabric?
how much did you use?
did you wrap around all trim pieces (like the doors)?
how much did it set you back?
will it be possible to take it off?

Looks fantastic, just wondering how durable it will be?

ZuerstBMW · 08-02-2008, 12:38 PM

Super nice job

mugen_ferio · 08-02-2008, 12:46 PM

Thanks for all the comments.

I got the fabric from Soni, a member here. You can pm him to see if he has anymore.

I used two yards for everything, including the doors as well, just didn't take pics of it. And I still have leftovers. Soni sold it for $50, so it is ALOT cheaper than getting the trims. Only thing is you have to spend more time and have more patience.

It doesn't have the gloss effect, which I like. Kinda like the CF leather on M3.

do you think if time comes and you want to go back to stock, will it be possible to do or the original base trim is damaged?

i will start doing mine tonight=)
looks hot!

That looks great! I need to get myself some of this CF fabric.

RedGT3 · 08-02-2008, 04:39 PM

Looks good

McLuVan · 08-02-2008, 04:40 PM

looks clean
one question,
how do you maintain the carbon leather?
do you take care of it as if it were regular leather?

i don't think what he has got is the same as carbon leather. this looks like what he called: fabric. So this will get dirty a bit easier then leather or other trims.

btw, dudes, here is the thread by Soni. probably more info there, i think i'll get in touch with him and retrim my car. this looks like the very nice alternative to buying the expensive stuff.
