^^^^it looks stock to me?

 

Yeah, it's the same color. This wrap is called ME-379 brushed aluminum. It's the same color but has a brushed aluminum feel. It looks subtle but classy IMO.

 

Doesn't look stock to me. It's very subtle, and I really like how that turned out Yvie.
SoCal, didn't know you wanted to do a vinyl wrap when you first posted. CarbonGS did real carbon fiber, that's why he could clear coat it.

 

i actually just talked to him. getting prices for real carbon.

 

I bought a small sheet of the 3m dinoc but haven't done anything with it..

I ordered it from CarbonFiberGear.com... prices were pretty good.. ANother member just did his interior with Dinoc over the wood.. turned out great...

nothing wrong with the dinoc IMO... looks good to..

 

OP. Have you seen & touched 3M DI-NOC ? There is no need to clear coat it. It is not your typical vinyl as it has the texture & feel of genuine c/f. I have 2 genuine c/f plate frames for sale if anyone is interested.

 

Here is your answer with regards to clear coating c/f vinyl

that looks great! wow, i might have to change mine up.

 

now doesnt the 3rd on look the best to anyone else? anyone in so cal know where to get real cf pieces wrapped?

 

also i was going to have my body shop guy use exterior automotive grade clear coat, not just from a spray can from home depot, if this clairifies anything?

 

Thanks!

Actually the non-clearcoat vinyl in this pic looks worse than in real-life IMO. It's very difficult to clearcoat larger surfaces of Di-Noc. From what I've seen it isn't easy to get an even result over the whole surface.

 

where you get the cell phone holder? had it for my BMW but cant find it for the lexus

 

I found it on eBay (Germany). Brand is Kuda. Mine is wrapped in real leather. It just clips on the console (no need to drill or such).

 

any more pics out threre?

 

If you get it installed on your door trim, the door panels will have to be removed in order to remove the "wood trim" on the doors. The trim is held by 4 bolts so don't pull or tug it off. After closer inspection of the trim on my doors, it appears to be abs plastic that looks to be painted in a wood pattern You will see for yourself..

Here are pics of my interior.
