Vinyle wrap or hydro dip interior trim?

[Charlievee]

Thinking of doing "carbon fiber " on the radio trim.

hydro would look super fake. vinyl would at least give the feel and look of real CF but installing it will be difficult on those tight curves.

plus you can remove vinyl if you don't like it down the road.

Use Vinyl. Use a good quality (3M DiNoc). Don't forget the prep work (I did out: ). Clean the surface well with rubbing alcohol. Heat is your friend. Go slow, take your time.

This mine.

With vinyl, unless you are a pro installer, plan to do the install two or three times before you get it right.
But I would do vinyl before I did hydro.

I would use the air release (working on the headlights with some smoke), but need to find samples so I can match the stock center console.

Good job on keeping the weave direction throughout each part. I’ve seen shitty installs without this in mind and the pattern is all over the place.

Vinyl 100%. At our shop we tried the hydro dip. Depending on the pattern and the shape of what was being dipped, we often got mixed results. Since then we only vinyl and the best thing is that there are 100s if not 1000s of patterns out there that didn't exist just a few years ago.

Thanks. That's something that has bugged me too. I made a point of trying to line up the pattern. Seemed to create a bit more waste but, worth it.

That looks awesome! I’m definitely going to do something similar to mine because the panels aren’t as perfect as I’d like since I’m not the original owner. I want to repaint the silver parts too because of scratches on the sides of the console.
