3M carbon fiber laminate

The steering wheel center on X3's has problems with paint getting loose. I fixed mine by CF wrapping. Better looking than new IMHO

Agreed, that looks great. Where and how much?

I bought it here in Sweden and it was not expensive. About 50 dollars for a 40*40" sheet. You need to use a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the laminate over curved edges. It is very flexible and easy to apply.

Search for 3M di-noc to find shops that sells the product.

Great job and thanks for posting pictures. Have the same problem and have already bought the 3M product. Can you give us some tips about cutting to get the cleanest results? Thanks.
