That looks great. I wish I had the patience to do something like that. I tried the cheap faux carbon fiber sticker set and it looked, well like a cheap faux carbon fiber sticker set. I would love to pull my center console out and wrap that, just afraid to screw it up!

Don't do the center console. That would just be too much. Satin the other chrome parts if you want (or better yet, find a V6 with the black pieces that would like to trade), but I'm tellin' ya, don't CF the center console.

Agreed, its easy to go overboardwith this stuff. The center console has been done but it would be challenging

Looks great. Nice and clean looking with teh back painting of your chrome. Paint the rest of your chrome black and call it a day.

Ps what paint did you use and how did you prep the chrome surfaces?

Pss, V6's have black pieces already?

Awesome work. Looks freakin great. Where did you get the vinyl and what paint did you use? I really want to do this in my car. I hate the look of the cheap chrome.
