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!

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?

f80tanz either custom made or a company called nvt autosport. I was going to order from there but found someone local who also does these
