Wrapped my interior with CF WRAP DI-NOC from 3M . Took some time but not to difficult to do. Looks like a new car on the inside.

Looks really good! I did the same in my Escalade...couldn't look at the fake wood anymore :) Love that Di-Noc stuff. Really cool product.

07 Escalade? Pics?

Sorry, crappy iphone pics...still trying to sort out what to do with the steering wheel. Suggestions? I don't know if the wrap will be durable enough for a steering wheel's everyday use.

That looks great. I might have to do that on mine. The wood is getting old.

Where did you buy it from and has anyone had it long enough to see how it holds up to the sun?

Got mine from here http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/ you can choose from I think 5 different colours of carbon fiber I went with black. I have had my car parked in the sun for about three days now and nothing happened to it I know its not long but still.

Thanks.

What size did you buy to wrap your interior?

I got the 8 square foot one just to be safe and ended up having a bit of extra vinyl but I rather be safe the first time then order again and pay shipping and duty for it twice.

that looks real good might have to do that to the caddy too.

Thanks...I'll let you in on a secret though, I screwed up. If you notice, the grain on the cupholder/ashtray section is different than the other pieces...been to busy to redo it :)

How easy is this stuff to install? Did you use a heat gun? Does it wrap around the rounded edges nicely?

Is this a heat wrap or basicly jst a vinyl sticker? I would like to do the cup holder and consule cubbies on my '05. Do you think there is so many contours to work properly?

Looking to buy Summit White Tahoe LTZ in next couple weeks, but hate the wood grain. I will be purchasing color matched white 24" wheels. Going for the whole white on white theme. The interior will be ebony.

This looks like a great alternative to sourcing all of the z71 brushed trim (very expensive).

I noticed there are many different Carbon Fiber Colors. Do you think the white would go well with my "theme" or do you think it would look "tacky"? If I don't go with white, should I use black, gloss black, or graphite?

**Update**
Just ordered 4 samples from metro restyling. Hard to see colors on computer screen. I'll let you know what I decide.
