Vinyl Overload

solefald · 04-30-2009, 01:40 PM

So i decided to wrap my interior trim in matte black vinyl.

I used different vinyl to do the center console last week, and was not impressed with the result, but the roll of Avery vinyl that i ordered 2 weeks ago finally came in last night and i did the passenger door and dashboard trim.
Looking good so far. There are few tiny bubbles, but i'm hoping they will disappear after vinyl sets in the next few days...

Well, i did not want to do CF fabric wrap and the actual CF trim is hella expensive

Im still on the fence about this. Need to drive around for a few days and see how i really feel about it

your exactly how i am, i hate the cf fabric but i want the real cf trim, but $1,700 for trim is ridiculous, i think you should keep it, or buy the piano wood trim from tischer, that looks legit

if you could find some glossy black vinyl, it might look better. closer to piano black. but matte black does look cheap, IMO.

i guess it looks better in person. pictures did not come out all that well

lol, whats with all the hate on cf fabric. its alright. this looks cheap though on the doors - i liked it when the tunnel only was wrapped, M3 style. now its a bit too much. go back to the tunnel only look, i think it will be good, and if the console and doors are in piano black finish it will be perfect i think.

looks good

I think gloss might have come out better?

but I wouldnt do neither.. black and black.... not enough contrast IMO..

did not want gloss, but yeah, i hear you on the contrast thing. that and the texture. i drove around with only the center console wrapped and it did look retarded in contrast with wood, but once i did the door and the dashboard it started looking better.

i put some Meguiar's on it, and it got this deep matte gloss on it now...i dunno. kinda looks good in person, but i am not really hard set on having it. Just trying on the new look. haha

punksterz626 · 04-30-2009, 03:10 PM

im surprise i dont see more ppl wrapping their trims themselve with cf than paying 300+ for someone to do it when these cf vinyl are pretty damn cheap..

you did a pretty good job on it..congrats.

zerox_guru · 04-30-2009, 03:11 PM

cf looks better..

Year's_End · 04-30-2009, 03:20 PM

not a fan. too dark and bland.

kmoy2002 · 04-30-2009, 03:40 PM

Maybe it would look better if it were glossy. Least you're trying new stuff

KkSc · 04-30-2009, 04:06 PM

umm...not diggin it!!BUT NICE WORK THERE!

TL · 04-30-2009, 04:15 PM

It's unique, good effort on the wrap!

stimpy · 04-30-2009, 04:16 PM

Good job on the actual wrap - looks like a pro did it.

However it looks boring and drab.

t0eknee_C · 04-30-2009, 05:15 PM

What color was the trim before?

gray poplar.

lol. im really on the fence bout it... i like it and i don't like it at the same time. haha. maybe a novelty of it will wear out in a couple of days and i will take it off. or maybe i will stick with it and after a year you guys will think that it's the best mod ever.

g9sBMW · 04-30-2009, 05:35 PM
