Default Carbon Fiber

I am starting to get sick of all of the gray plastic inside the Accord. It is scratched up and starting to get seriously outdated. I am thinking of covering it in some carbon fiber vinyl or what not.

What do you guys think? What to use? I have seen some on ebay and they have a few styles.

Carbon fiber isnt any better IMHO. Get the interior peices painted either back to grey or a nice black. That would look best

Wow...didnt even realize there were responses!

Yeah, I have the gray interior. I've seen multiple people paint their plastic and then it just chips off and cracks.

We shall see.

Yeah...idk I just really think the gray is looking old.

I bought some samples of CF vinyl off ebay and there is one that I like. It isn't super obvious but looks nice when you give it a good look.

I am thinking about giving it a go.

Also, can the center console (the piece surrounding the removable radio trim) come out very easily?

It's kind of a pain and you have to take your time. I don't specifically remember how to do it, but you can crack that piece easily.
