My shop even tried to wrap it, but the wrap wouldn't stick. Any suggestions on how I could address this? I bought an extra OEM set of blades for the front and back doors, so I'd like to experiment to see what might work. Please let me know whenever you get a chance- thanks!
@f80tanz
Hi thank you mate, finally getting there. Interior and engine bay are about to be completed, very few pieces left. Like I have said before they will not match, I tried it before and had the same problem therefore I had to carbon skin them. I know that it looks so nice on dash you want to match but it won't work as far as I know. Couple of other people tried including me. Your best change like I have said before is to go carbon skinning route and switch back to your leather door handles to not to have over carbon.

something like above mate, go with carbon for the blades, looks subtle imo. Also you wont need to worry about matching them

That came out really nice, and I like the idea of the carbon blades. Would you be able to tell me where I could get those from?

since these are not common, I thought we better have them in this thread too.


the gloss black buttons make it look complete. I thought it would not do all but the end result is sick.

all the buttons are done by : https://www.instagram.com/carbon_cultureuk/

What's the process to install these, does the switch assembly need to come out, or just pull off the OEM black trim first... and then try to align the silver trim as best as possible?

It’s just 3M tape. Stick it on top

Does the trunk count. Installed downstar trunk bolts, my triangle back on and my IG plate. I do recommend for a carbon trunk instead of using the plastic clips

Added Carbonex matching hood handle and LED lights. Along with some Dinmann goodies.

Still debating on whether to use normal floor mats or stick with these cheap China ones...
I modified this by cutting out the area where the foot plate is and using velcro strips to hold it down. Honestly don't think it looks too bad. Wondering what yall think?

Danlnyc88 although it's not my cup of tea for the floor mats. It does look like you did a great job with fitting them in there. Are they blueish or is that just from the lighting
