Carbon fiber interior

[FlyBoyd]

I finally finished the console on the inside of the truck. I still need to do the door rests on all four doors, but so far it looks good. Also the trim parts around the shifter and the cup holder were much more challenging to take off then I thought. I tried to paint those first because the chrome was stripping off and cracking, but the paint was leaving fingerprints in it, so I decided to plastidip them and I realized that it works out the best. It actually matches the shifter portion in the console and the black of the cup holders really well!

Let me know what you think.

What did you use?

I used 3M carbon fiber DI-NOC. It's a great product. It's not true carbon fiber, but it's better than any other vinyl on the market and looks great!

That looks great. Now you got me thinking. How much did you get?

For the interior I got the 48 x 48 sheet of the gloss black. For my exterior I had to get the large sheet to go the length of the roof racks.

It wasn't cheap, but I tell you that not a single person that has seen it, didn't think it wasn't actual carbon fiber. I HIGHLY recommend getting the 3m 94 primer to go with it. It helps with the seal and will keep it from peeling. I have also used the primer on the chrome expedition emblems before I plasti-dip'd them. I have washed my truck since then and the plasti-dip will not come off.

I tell you, I am a huge fan of carbon fiber and have scoffed at some of the vinyls out there, but this stuff looks and feels great.

Looks great! One of the main reasons I bought a limted Expy was for the black finished wood on the dash. That's a great mod!

So does the 2012 come with black wood? (so to speak) I haven't seen that. The reason I did this mod is I don't like wood trim, unless it's in a Bentley and it's REAL wood.

Yes....they call it olive ash black wood trim. It's a much darker black then the pics in their literature shows. It almost looks gray in the 2012 lit.
