Ive decided that my interior needs to be refurbished and the thing is i cant decide if i wanna go with carbon fiber bit or just respray the plastic bits and keep it original

What would you guys go with carbon or matt black paint?0

Mine is mat black at present but im considering carbon. The thing is it has to be real carbon those stickers looked shit when i tried it.

Auto style has this new carbon sheet sticker thing , but its priced at R 300 for 60cm X 40cm sheet , what do you think about that , think its worth it , any body try it?

just sand it with a fine sand paper. and maybe use a plastic primer.

worked nicely on mine.

Yea they the cheap one that looks kak, and then the expensive on which looks like CF, i just dont know if it worth, how much would it cost to a proper 100% CF center console made?

Ive seen this one dude who did his bemers bonnet and boot , it looks great. The only catch is that he did cf ontop of the metal so it looks the part but no weight reducktion.

Carbon look is gay, and looks gay. At the very least skin the parts with a layer or two of carbon if you want that look. Will be much cheaper than trying to have the part made entirely from carbon.
