Interior Trim from fake red wood to Carbon Fiber wrap
Hey guys, been lurking here since I got my g37x sedan a few years ago, Just wanted to shout out to the community for how helpful you guys have been with my projects!
I have yet to see this combo here so I figured I would post in case anyone with the wheat interior is considering making a change, overall I am extremely happy with the results. The process was tedious as I did everything at once, the wrap actually took much much longer than removing the parts, note this is the first time I have used a vinyl wrap, the 3m 1080 is legit, fabulous product and fairly easy and forgiving to work with, pics bellow! edit: forgot to mention I went with a kinda unique Idea here, few petrol heads and I thought leaving the "runners" chrome, as well as the shift baseplate would give some nice contrast to our other "chromish" accents. https://s30.postimg.org/3qr59w64t/IMG_2700.jpg https://s30.postimg.org/9g7du7cb1/IMG_2708.jpg https://s30.postimg.org/4vl7f9slp/IMG_2712.jpg https://s30.postimg.org/eu661r219/IMG_2714.jpg https://s30.postimg.org/bolkbjjf1/IMG_2717.jpg https://s30.postimg.org/e7bupyuj1/IMG_2719.jpg |
Nice little project to make the interior stand out. Not sure if I would like this on my car, I kinda like my fake wood trim. Especially over brushed aluminum finish, which tends to get scratchy :D

No clue how you havent seen this combo yet, but going from fake wood to fake CF w/stone interior imo looks terrible. The whole fake CF was the biggest mistake. Maybe if you went with another color that better fit the stone then I think it would have turned out better.
|
I'm pretty sure that wood is actually real.
|
I'd have left the wood with the beige seats
|
That is REAL maple wood. I believe a $550 option and looks great with black interior.
|
I'd have to agree with the others - while I'm no interior designer, CF looks out of place with the natural colors of your interior. But I applaud you for pulling off such a clean job. Well done! :biggthumpup:

I think it looks good. Nicely done sir.

Hey, you did a quality job and most of all, you like it, should be enough :)
And best of all, since you know what the job requires it's not too bad to try another shade if & when. |

honestly with a small "crafting" power drill, like really small, I could have all the components out in 30 minutes tops, the tedious part is the wrapping, I got a little faster towards the end, but cutting all the relief slits to make it perfect was...... mind numbing
