Carbon leather
One if my customers took delivery on his new M3 sedan and I went outside to take a look at it.
I noticed the dash had a carbon leather. This stuff looks 100x better than carbon fiber since it's refined, yet still really cool at the same time.
Is there any mod like this for the X? Or is it possible to get it?

There are vendors out there that will take your stock trim and treat it with carbon fiber cloth. One of the companies is EuroDyne. You can either send your stuff to them or buy the material and do it yourself. Here is the link to the e90 bmw forum...

i was planning on buying some from eurodyne, but kinda scared cuz you had to scuff up stock trim to glue the fabric on. probaly leave it for now and wait for rexpeed to come out with some cf covers lol. . . .

I have a bunch of that fabric. You can buy it at some fabric/upholstry stores, it's cheap. I have about 2 sq yrds. I was thinking of doing my trim as well. But like someone said, you'd pretty much ruin your stock trim with glue.

holy **** man, that stuff looks great....well what they've done with it on the BMW forums anyway. i can think of a few places to use that in the EVO, and i'm looking at possibly picking up a used Acura TL pretty soon, and it could use some freshening up.. very nice
