    Default Interior Trim Wrap: Classic real black carbon fibre or new real Blue Carbon Fibre?

    Ok, I am going to be wrapping many of the mat grey plastic controls inside my 2007 Mazda GT and need opinions. I can go with the classic black carbon fibre look or the manufacturer of the kit now offers a blue carbon fibre. They are not just a stenciled sticker, but suggest that they are actual thin carbon fibre with proper finishing that would be attached with the 3M tape that everyone loves around here.

    Here is the link to the item. I just need to know whether or not the blue would pop in the end or it would just look kitchy and campy. It's a tough call.

    Just click on the two and tell me what you think. I know it is personal taste, but I just like hearing other peoples thoughts as well. I've got to let the seller know by tomorrow evening.

    Thanks so much guys.

    The blue carbon fibre looks neat. I would say go for it. But how come they don't show it on the 04-09 mazda3 models?

    I think youd have a much better look if you bought a nice big roll of the material from like DecalFX.com or something, popped the pieces out and just wrapped them your self, you might have a lot of fitment issues with the stuff that is already cut.

    I tend to agree with this idea. Keep in mind that though they say it is "real carbon fiber", it is still vinyl. Too much can look poor. That said, if you want to see what real wet wrap blue CF looks like...all my interior trim switches are professionally wrapped.

    Would love to see the real wet wrap blue CF looks like. Where would I go for pics ?
    If it is really heads and tails above I will consider it for a future mod as this was just a fun romp
    and experiment.

    best bet would be to come to a meet and I can show you in person. I will be at the AA meet on Thursday at Nextmod.
