Carbon fiber wrapping?
I am wanting to wrap my aluminum paddle shifters, PRNDM shift plate, and my steering wheel trim in carbon fiber, and I am not exactly sure how to go about doing it. Is there a shop that I can send it the parts and get them wrapped, or would it be better to do it myself or what? Any suggestions?

I did all mine myself. Pain in the ass . But well worth it. If you are not good with patience I would say have a professional do it.

I am pretty patient, I feel like I could do it, I just don't know where to begin. what all did you wrap? Do you know of any good DIY write ups that i can follow or kits I can buy or something?

What you want to wrap is going to be time consuming, so you are going to be better off doing it yourself. The material we have available is very affordable and pretty easy to work with.
We have a DIY on Camaro5 here showing the application on the front and rear bow ties of the Camaro. More on the material we have in our vendor thread here Hope that helps. |

I did my speedometer gauge cluster, shifter bezel, metro dash kit, door panel inserts and dash trim . Turned out really good. I used 3M di-Noc white carbon fiber and I couldn't e happier. Really hard around corners and angles tho as the Di-Noc is pretty thick but well worth it. It won't be perfect but sure will be purty. Good luck!

I did mine with the Headlight Armor product and they came out great. Have done some other parts as well. The 3M is heavier and harder to work in tight spaces and corners. I would use it for external parts. I had an installer do my Scosch kit and it came out great.
