Best color for vinyl wrapping interior trim: E90 Black/Beige

big_c · 12-18-2013, 03:33 PM

Hey, looking at picking up an E90 with jet black exterior and the beige interior. has the burl walnut trim now, looking to get something more modern and sporty.

Im torn between dry carbon fiber, gloss carbon fiber, and black brushed aluminum. Or maybe even something else might look nice, like aluminum or anthracite...not sure if that would be an overload of colors.

What would you guys go with?

maxipad96 · 12-18-2013, 05:45 PM

Dry carbon fiber texture is the best.

kenbrinkman · 12-18-2013, 06:27 PM

Gloss black! I have it in mine. So classy and way better than wood.

edirtaynine · 12-18-2013, 06:35 PM

gloss black > cf vinyl

if you want cf, it looks best to get real cf... it just costs a shitload lol

330xtrai · 12-18-2013, 06:36 PM

you could do cf fabric like neffy wraps there was a craze a while ago or brushed aluminum/titanium vinyl wrap to have an oem look but still clean.

notnow · 12-18-2013, 07:06 PM

Just went from CF to gloss black and I'm happy:

Damn, gloss black looks outstanding with beige

Taran.J · 12-18-2013, 08:30 PM

Gloss Black

starbai · 12-18-2013, 09:47 PM

Not sure I'm a fan myself but throwing it out there... how about a "Brown/Gold Brushed Aluminum" ?

notnow · 12-18-2013, 09:53 PM

^no offense but that sounds horrible

starbai · 12-18-2013, 09:56 PM

Or a matte brown metallic?

Wood is the best with beige IMO. You could work a different grain of wood, or even "ash" gray or marchiatto colored wood.

Otherwise aluminum, but with large surfaces like this it'll look cheap.

kingofthedemo · 12-19-2013, 10:42 AM

I just put the matte black, carbon fiber fabric, in mine, and so far I really like it!

mastermayhm · 12-19-2013, 11:53 AM

piano black, er whatever it is... it needs to be dark

.fLip. · 12-19-2013, 02:42 PM

gloss black

Jony722si · 12-19-2013, 04:15 PM
