Question carbon fiber interior

Just made the center console , it was cool but I removed it because you can see some rippled fabric ...

That was one of the main reasons I chose to go with hydro-dipping.

It cost me $80 plus shipping. Got it from a non-sponsor. But the guys over at EmblemPros.com (a sponsor) are supposed to be gearing up to offer this service as well.

Looks good. I just put carbon fiber strips on my hood. This might make a nice finishing touch!

DragonZ28 will be doing hydrodipping very soon from what I have read. I think it is the best solution for things like that other than leather wrapping

Their was a guy in L.A. that hydroformed nearly all my interior trim pieces just like thecobrahunters when I had a Camaro. His prices were very fair but he drop off the earth some time ago.

nice work dude. you could easily wrap your stuff in CF for way cheaper than hydro dipping. i may have a write up on how to do it soon. And it's not undercutting sponsors, some people just don't have $400 to hydro-dip interior pieces.

Agree, This cheap way cost me only $8 for the fabric. But it doesn't cost $400 !!! , thecobrahunter paid only $80 !!

Mohammed, did you try to use a blow dryer yet? You can use it to heat up that material and stretch it out a little and make it wrap the corners better. If you want to re-do it, take the piece of wrap and get it wet before you lay it down on the piece and use the blow dryer to slowly work your way around and squeegee in to place like window tint.

I used a heat gun , it worked on some areas but at the corners it's hard to make it perfect.
