Interior trim wrap

Got around to wrapping the piano black with carbon fiber. Will say it looks much better and doesn't leave any fingerprints. First time wrapping the interior and was much easier than expected.

Looks good! What made you decide to wrap the cup holder area cover with the weave going in the opposite direction to the shifter console area?

For a first time effort, that actually looks really good. Was it pre-cut? Or did you cut it after sticking it?

Haha that was me making a noob mistake and being too lazy to fix it. Maybe a project for another weekend.

Bought a roll off amazon and a wrap kit and went at it after watching some videos.

Thanks! Cut after sticking on. Was much simpler than anticipated.

Hehe sweet. So a total DIY and it came out perfectly. And weirdly enough, I kinda like that the cup holder cover weave is in the opposite direction compared to the rest of the trim.

Did not remove the pieces. I placed the wrap directly on and cut.

If you search up vvivid carbon fiber wrap on amazon itll come up. They have different versions too based on how much gloss you want. I got the Vivvid Black True R which is supposed to be a more matte finish.

Did you use heat to recess it into the edges? Looks clean. How has it held up?

Thanks for the pics and wrap info. Just got done installing the same based on the info you provide and couldn’t be happier with the results. 👍

Did you remove the trim to install? If not, can you discuss how you wrapped it around the edges?

I did not. For the edges...I cut on the outward most side of the trim and used a little heat to allow the vinyl to sort of fall in as much as possible then used the edge tool to get it secured best I could. Some of the trim pieces don't have much or any of a gap so I applied a little heat and stretched just a little then used the edge tool and my finger to form over where I wanted to cut.
