Real Carbon Fiber Interior Options

Here are my buddies REAL carbon fiber interior from FX Auto. First is Brociouz and the second is Hoovey2411.
It's worth the money if you want a quality product and not see any lines from vinyl.

^ Aside from not having lines/exposed areas like with vinyl wraps, you get that nice shiny look of the real CF, which was the biggest deal for me. There are some nice overlays out there too that can get you the shiny look, but you still have the exposed edges. (The second pic Mariano posted is actually one of those real CF overlay kits, but Jared/Hoovey2411 has since upgraded to the real deal .)

Brociouz, yeah I noticed that too....inside the cup holder, the red part of the OEM bezel is showing. That is what I'm worried about. My current CF wrap is done pretty good by me, but....the edges get loose around the cup holder when the interior get hot. I have to constantly be re-applying the edges to make it look presentable. Does the FXAuto's Carbon Fiber fit nice, and not show the edges?

What about this? I'm thinking of getting one painted instead for $200 but $245 for a carbon fiber IS-F rep spoiler is a good deal.

I just wrapped mine in newer glossy carbon fiber wraps. Not as glossy as real carbon fiber but not dull or matte as the regular ones. No way would I pay $800+ for "real ones."
As for the exposed edges, you can take a hair dryer to it and the wraps will conform moar. For the corners, I used a lighter to make the wrap softer and it forms/melts into shape under the flame. Only light it for 1 or 2 seconds tho or it will completely melt and catch fire. Took me a total of 8 hours cuz I was super **** getting all the center console pieces lined up right with the pattern, and no exposed wood what so ever.
