Carbon Fiber Wrap on Trim..or not?

I wouldn't pay $200 for that. That stuff cost me $60 for enough to do the dash and everything twice

Hot dang that looks good. Exactly what I wanted to do. I only havn't because I figured wrapping the tight curved surfaces of the pieces around the window switches would be a pita. How was the install / process on this? Tough?

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.

Time is money... Im sure between removing the pieces and installing the Niloc there is at least two hours of work in it, especially on the window switches.
