Door panel and dash trim converted to Carbon Fiber

Here's a few pics of a little project I did not too long ago. I had the light grey interior panels and I always thought they looked terrible against the black interior. So I decided to order some Carbon Fiber vinyl and wrap it myself. I am really happy with it. Here's some pics.

The carbon fiber vinyl I used is thicker than normal vinyl and actually feels like real CF so it covered the texture without any sanding. You can't even tell it has texture under it.
