dry carbon wrap

http://drycarbonwrap.com/gallery.html

looks really sick, would be cool for interior trim, and actually looks good on exterior stuff.

the question is, rice or not rice?

pretty damn expensive too! $16 sq/ft

I will do this to my interior trim, like pictured above. I hate the faux carbon trim on it.

the "carbon" in the X is so bad. I like the plain black in the MR, but it's got to be a fingerprint magnet.

I tend to agree with this statment. I have a real hard time paying for looks..... so to get a interior trimmed out in carbon.... WAY TO MUCH MONEY

I wrapped a light switch plate when I was in school with Aerospace grade carbon fiber.... it looks sweet and still remains there today

it looks good, just be careful because i saw it on a car once and if you have any real carbon on your car you can REALLLLLLY tell the difference, if there isnt any tho it looks good, only obviously a wrap if you have something on the car to compare it to

Here is a cheaper alternative. I've personally seen multiple installs with this stuff, its a quality vinyl.
