Looks nice! Haven't seen this done on a Magna before. Is it just that adhesive overlay stuff? Did you apply it yourself? Looks like you've done a very neat job. I take it you're going to do the head unit surround & a/c vents as well?

Seats look nice too, is that the ebay faux-leather stuff?

Lookin' good :thumbsup:

What are you using? ...and are you doing this yourself? Looks like an excellent job.

That's a real carbon fiber and yeah I do it myself

*Edit* Real CF thin sheet applied on top or a complete CF replacement moulded part?

Just a carbon overlay.
Lenda-It costed me around $100, that is for the CF, resin, sand paper and clear paint.
I still have spare for my stereo surround, ash tray and air-con vent.

look schminkin good dude:thumbsup:

looks very nice - very neat :)

does it reflect the sun-glare back into your eyes when your driving?

(that annoyes me with the chrome surround in the center console / gear surround - i dont clean it much! lol)

I already layed the CF on ash tray surround/cover, needs more sanding

where do you get this "carbon overlay"?? looks interesting

Did you just overlay the carbon fiber with resin or did you have to rap it up in something while it cured to prevent air bubbles forming in the resin?

No I did not wrapped it, just 2 coats of resin, sand, then clear paint-

Looks interesting mate.... be sure to post up pics when it's all done. I was considering doing this when I go home (albeit using the cheap fake carbon fibre you get from Autobarn and the like), so I'd like to see what it looks like when all the interior bits are done.

thats hot - way better than the plastic look, almost as nice as the woodgrain.

anybody looking for a console to practice on pm me cos i have one for sale

This is how it looks now....:redface: Not too flashy, just right for my liking

Mate - that looks top! :D
Gotta love CF :badgrin:

Does it have that 3D look - when you look at it from different angles?

Thanks

Not a fan... Perhaps it looks better in real life, good work anyway mate.

looks good man, I've wanted to do that to mine but my skill in applying overlays is 0% so I'd just screw it up :P well done!
