Thanks to sk8rjosh and his youtube video I've been a little inspired to do this, I'm thinking of installing carbon fiber trim to my interior dash
I found the one he recommended for 130$ on ebay but then I saw this one

Dash Kit Decal Auto Interior Trim Chrysler Crossfire 2004 2008 | eBay

For only 30$ , the images leave me to think it'll work just as well but i would like some opinons
And also wondering if anyone has vinyl wrapped the xf on here , I saw some carbon fiber vinyl wrap for the roof and hood and would like to know how well it would hold (on my roof )

Thanks in advance

 

From personal experience those kits are cheesy but some like them, I would rather wrap in vinyl. But if you are going to do any wrapping make sure its 3m and you are good... 3m has the best quality and wont have to worry about it peeling or anything.

 

From videos and website research the company r vinyl makes mostly products that don't use adhesives (atleast their pre cut tints don't use them)
I'll double check the website but if they do use 3m I think a $100 savings would be great , either way I want my interior to look like carbon fiber!!

 

Me too, right now it is my summer project to wrap all the silver and possibly headliner. The thing i dont like about the kits is they sit on top of the silver and dont curve over the edges and silver is poking out everywhere. Thats why i dont like them because then it looks fake. And sk8er josh wrapped his using similar if not the 3m product.

Nice job, thats exactly what im talking about doing.

 

Thanks, sir.

It is a major PITA in our cars. There is such tight clearances around the switches and especially the Hazard lamp, that even with my wife and I heating and stretching the vinyl (to make it as thin as possible) the switches still, on occasion, drag or stick. I wont even go into doing the center A/C vents and the concave section around the center switches.

It's coming off this winter and I'm painting the whole works. Dark Charcoal Metallic with satin clear. There really is about the same amount of prep work and time involved, so WTH?

And, I'm a God with a rattle can!

 

lol well i was fully aware that it is a project but i think if i have to take it off anyways i might just paint too...

 

That is a good way to go... Personally I like the silver edging though. And with the taller trim all of my buttons are flush and I would buy another for more money anyday. I am going to do the wrap job maxcichon showed for my shift **** and pillars. The headliner "Boiler" got is the one to compliment it all.

 

I bet it was a PITA!!!!!! It looks like it was. Good job on it, it does look very good.

 

One last thing to anyone planning on doing a wrap job like this:

Primer, primer and uniformly applied...primer.

I'm talking about adhesive primer. Do a Google search for "Vinyl wrap adhesive promoter". I got mine at Fastenal. Surprisingly, they had the best price. It comes in a pint can and these little "lipstick" applicators.

And, it does NOT harm the silver paint when used. I "tested in a small inconspicuous place". Just like the instructions suggest.

 

Time for the fishnet panty hose and black rattle can over the silver?

 

Yep.

Your wife sent hers. And some interesting photos.

Smart Alec!

No, just a straight paint job with no embellishments. I thought of body-color, but the missus' vetoed that. We're too old for a Blaze Red interior. I guess...

 

Fyi.. the one in the garage.. well that's not a torque wrench hanging in the corner..

 

I started to get a little confused around post #8 , A regular vinyl wrap including me to remove the interior trim is the best looking route to go right ?

 

As I said: I'm removing mine because it just ain't perfect. Looks great from 3 feet, but the clearance issues and it's starting to lift in the concave corners nixed the deal for me.

And after one he!!uva' lot of careful work.

And, yes, it was all prepped properly. I like the look, but when you know your best work wasn't good enough...

 

I apologize for the crude remark, but what are you talking about? What garage? Please tell me!

 

Reference those pictures you said you got..

 

Ah ! I get it now ...
You two are swapping wifey pictures preparatory to a potential wife-swap .....

( isn't there a reality show for that ? )

 

Tune in March 8th to see the episode.. as you can tell by the remarks.. he's still upset..
