Carbon Fiber Interior Trim Question

MuchMoore · 03-14-2009, 11:36 PM

Im interested in carbon fiber interior trim, but I really hate the glare that glossy pieces create. Are there any opinions on wet sanding the trim so that it has a matte finish? Should I just go with the M3's carbon leather instead?

You can sand down the clear coat and respray it with a matte finish. We did this on Jon's E92 for the exterior CF parts. Otherwise, Carbon Leather is another option.

Any detailed pics by chance?
