So this was done by wrapping the cf "cloth" around the wood? Where did you get the part? One more thing, please do a DIY. Thanks.

Looks nice! Haha, I'm not sure this is clear to everyone... This is not an overlay, it's a cloth (much like vinyl) that you can wrap anything you want in:

I have some of this stuff myself, but I've been trying to find where in the interior it would look good...

Is this a cloth made from cf? Or just a cloth made to look like cf?

Thanks for all of the kind words. I will try to make a DIY soon with some parts in my brothers Acura as I dont really have any other parts right now that I want to CF in my car.

I am pretty positive I have the exact same stuff in Javy's post, if not really similar so please refer to that.

Basically the process is remove the part, spray with spray adhesive, fit and adjust CF, let dry and re install or clear it before re install.

I'm very interested in this as well. I just learned that there are several weights and thickness such as shown here. I want to order the correct type.
