Ok, I have wanted to do something with the interior of the 'hoe since I put the LEDs in the first week I had the truck. I am thinking about getting all the "wood" interior pieces wrapped in carbon fiber wrap, not real CF, but am just not sure how it will look. So everyone's opinion is much appreciated.
I have a buddy that is a service manager at a BMW dealership and he does this for customers there. The wrap can be taken off and does not leave any residue, but I would just be out $200. I would be wrapping the steering wheel trim, that is peeling, as well.

Thanks!

In the process of getting my interior done in real CF, I say try it out and see how you like it.

Anything is better than the faux wood!

I had mine done with the dip and I love it...much better than the wood

3M makes a material called Di-Noc. I originally wrapped the trim in my Tahoe with it, and just last night changed the pieces out to the OEM brushed aluminum that I ordered. I liked the Di-Noc, but after a year with it, I was ready for something different, especially since I knew it wasn't real CF.

If you do it, remove each piece, clean it well, then cut the Di-Noc to size, apply with a bit of heat stretching tight on the edges, which will make it a tad thinner. I just covered the wood grain and trimmed at that edge, then install.

I agree, I don't really like the wood either. Wish someone made a grey or black woodgrain. But at the same time not sure if I would like all black or CF. I'm new here also so whats the dip? haven't heard of it.
