Replaced CF vinyl interior with Gloss Black interior (w/ CF accents)

The large parts wrapped with CF made the interior look extremely busy so I replaced it with gloss black vinyl. I was never sure if I liked the CF vinyl or not... however I was extremely happy after redoing my interior with gloss black.

I also wrapped the part on the door where it illuminates to imitate the 4-series look. It gives a different feel to the car because of how it now has a more surrounded feel. (This part takes a LOT of patience, each side had to be re-wrapped)

Before with CF vinyl:


Half way (similar to M3, didn't know there was such a big difference between vinyl and fabric... fabric looks 10000x better but much harder to install/reinstall):


After with gloss black vinyl:


Something looked weird, was the CF shift knob:

Good work, looks nice! I'd make it all gloss black, but it still looks good the way it is.

I was planning to wrap the remaining parts, just got a little lazy. But only the easy stuff left. I think a e-brake handle that matches the shifter would finish it off.
