Christmas may be over, but I am continuing this until I get rid of all of my satin black material. Unfortunately, I do not have any more pictures of the satin black, but hopefully the ones that I have already posted above will be good enough for you guys to determine the differences and how it looks compared to the other finishes.

Here's a white BMW F10 535i that I recently worked on. I vinyl wrapped the chrome on this car's window trim with my matte black material. It really changes the look of the car completely, since the chrome doesn't match anything else on the car and the window trim especially takes up such a large real estate on the car when looking at it. We went with my matte black vinyl material for the window trim to match the rubber and door pillars that were also already matte black from the factory. The owner of this car was around south Orange County, and I happened to be in that area from Irvine that day so I dropped by to do the vinyl work on his car.

I've had people PM me to see if they can use my materials to wrap their interior trim pieces, and the answer to that is yes. I figure I'll post some pictures for you guys to show you some examples of how it looks like. Even though I am not much of a carbon fiber person myself, I think it makes the interior trim pieces look great. The material is even textured, so it has a nice feel to it.

Here's pictures of an E92's interior that I wrapped in the 3M carbon fiber di-noc vinyl material:









Here's the center console area and side door switches on a 350z:

I've had people PMing me for pictures of the carbon fiber material. So I am going to repost these pictures here in this thread for those who haven't seen pictures of it in my other threads.

Here's another car that I did while I was up in norcal doing some vinyl wraps. This car was around the Hayward area. The car is a white IS250, and I did his roof in the 3M 1080 gloss black carbon fiber material. It was the first car that I actually had used the material on for the roof. These pictures will also give those who have other cf parts a good idea of how the carbon fiber 3M 1080 vinyl looks compared to it. Don't mind the uneven marks, those were just water streaks from when I wiped the roof down in the heat. The camera picked those up more than how it looked like in person, or else I would have cleaned it better

This is kind of a two for one deal, so there's going to be more pictures in this post than usual. This white 3rd gen Lexus GS300 came by to have me install a gloss black vinyl roof on his car and while he was here he also decided to tint/smoke his rear tail lights as well. We went with the gloss black vinyl for his roof to give it a factory panoramic look. For the tail lights, I tinted the whole thing and then cut out the clear portions for him. I included a picture that shows what it would have looked like with the clear portion tinted compared to it with the clear portion cut out. The owner of this car came out to me in Anaheim Hills from around Cerritos/north Orange County.

I am still getting PMing me about pictures or what the differences are between the two carbon fiber materials. So I'll go ahead and just post some pictures of the 3M di noc matte carbon fiber on cars instead of the those interior trim pieces that I have already posted, so you can kind of have a better visual.

Gloss black vinyl roof that I wrapped on a white C350 to give it the panoramic roof effect/look. Owner of this car was in Irvine/Tustin as well. Pretty simple and straight forward look/style

Usually when I black out window trim it is because they are chrome/brushed aluminum, but in this case, the originally black window trim on this car had just faded to a copperish metal hue. So what I did was just applied some of my gloss black vinyl material onto the lower window trim pieces and on the small rear quarter window vertical pillar that had also faded.

If there is enough interest in this, I can set up a group buy type of deal for it and have a group of you guys come by in on an assigned day to all get it done.

PM sent.

I've had quite a few requests for tinting tail lights recently, so I decided to post up some more pictures of them for you guys. The owner of this car was actually a firefighter at a station local/right down the street from me in Irvine, so I dropped by there to tint/smoke the tail lights and the top portion of the headlights on his black E60 550i.

Tinted/smoked left side, stock/untinted right side:




Both sides tinted:


Top portion of the headlights tinted/smoked:

I worked on this black Bentley GT Continental coupe a while back. He brought his car by to have me black out the chrome window trim on his car. Originally he was going to go with gloss black, but once he got here we decided to go with the matte black to still give the covered pieces some contrast with the rest of the car. Also wrapped the chrome accents that were along the bottom of the car and his door handles. He was around Mission Viejo or so and came out to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange County.

One of my previous customers that had me vinyl wrap the roof on his 335i E92 sold his car and got a new car. He purchased the new limited edition matte black C63 coupe from Mercedes. Everything looked good on the car, except for the chrome window trim that blatantly stood out, especially against the matte black paint on the rest of the car. It's not often that I get a matte black car that comes in to have their window trim vinyl wrapped. He decided to go with gloss black for the window trim, to give it some contrast still, and I think it turned out great.

I still have some left, so this is still going.

I had some requests for some more eye level angles, so I mixed those in with some of the higher angle ones to help you guys better visualize what it looks like. I usually get a lot of white and black cars coming by to get vinyl work done, so it's always different when other colored cars come by to get some vinyl work done. I think this is probably the second or third yellow car that I have had come by. The owner of this car was from around Cerritos and came out to me in Anaheim Hills to get the vinyl work done. We went with the gloss black to match the lips/finish on the wheels.
