Carbon Wrap Trims

Postby Lancer1993 » Tue Mar 03, 2015 9:33 pm

I'm like to add some carbon wrap to some interior parts and have noticed some pre-cut bits on eBay but they are quite expensive for sure a small bit of CFW.

Like this...

Does anyone have printable cutouts we can use to make out own from the CFW of our choice?

Don't see too much of an issue with the price, someone has taken the time to measure, cut and prototype this and then have them computer cut for accuracy etc to save people like us time and having to do all that and just be able to stick it on.

Buy a 5 metre roll of carbon fibre vinyl for $50 and wrap as many trims pieces as you want from scratch yourself. I'm sure there are printable cutouts available, but not for free, most likely belonging to people like the seller of this product that did it themselves also. Not everything in this world can be free or leeched off other people.

like Carl said, buy a 5m roll and then take the interior bits off and wrap them yourself :)

One other option I was thinking was to get some tracing paper, use that to make a cut out. One of the bits I want to do if around the interior handle, which can't be removed.

Yeah I thought they might be hard to get a hold of.

The precut bits are OK, if you have a steady hand. Personally, I bought 1 bit of CF trim that was precut, (for the steering controls), and have since taken it off and ended up wrapping myself because it wasn't sitting straight.

As with Carl's suggestion, you can buy vinyl cheap, whether it be CF, Pearl, Matte, or whatever and wrap it yourself. Use some smaller bits first, with a few curves for practice, then move onto your bigger parts.

I will be posting a 'How To:' on dismantling the dash/door trims shortly for anyone that cares and is like me wanting to do the mods themselves.
