Interior Carbon fiber vinyl! New thread :)

335iNavyGuy · 11-12-2013, 10:02 PM

As a few of you will remember, i started with blue, on my first attempt. I've since moved to red.. and i did my steering wheel! Comments?

(Blue is still on one part, havent removed yet was using as comparison, and my emblem isnt on yet either)

335iAP · 11-12-2013, 10:39 PM

I'd go with silver. Red looks a little too plasticky.

MDecals · 11-12-2013, 10:48 PM

Graphite is my favorite

Game · 11-12-2013, 10:49 PM

Sorry man, looks like something that would go into a Dodge Neon.

E90gone · 11-12-2013, 11:55 PM

Liked the blue better but neither look great. Needs to be a darker color to really work. Something subtle so it's not standing out like a sore thumb.

I'll pass, thanks.

Keep blue and red the giants ! Lol no but is the steering wheel emblem the same in non sport models cuz I heard not to take it out just overlap it?

Taran.J · 11-13-2013, 09:33 AM

Again, no.

Looks pretty bad, just use black carbon fiber

I have aluminum with some real carbon fiber accent pieces. Considered going to full carbon but it's a little flashy for my tastes.

335iAP · 11-13-2013, 10:27 AM

But if you must do one of these, I prefer the blue.

Not sure what you expected - IMO looks bad. But to each his own.

BTW - you asked for "comments"

HighPSI · 11-13-2013, 11:59 AM

if you had red interior and didnt do the steering wheel, it'd look ok

335iAP · 11-13-2013, 12:06 PM

If you reallllllly want some red/blue in there, I'd suggest going with a normal color trim and using some of these piping strips from Bimmian:

I dont want red/blue i am going with red, blue was a test. And i dont want black carbon fiber, every single person i know who does work on their interior uses black carbon fiber. i want something different.
