yeah u can wrap it in anything you want

 

kpeng wrapped his in suede, so check his out

 

Yeah, it's pretty nice. If you're sick of the wood then it's a good alternative, but IMO it cheapens up the interior more than the wood does. I wish I would have kept my OEM wood trim now, 3 or 4 years later.

not the best picture, but here was my car, I traded it after a month for OEM piano black. my car is a sedan, which is way easier to do than a coupe.

and sheefo2k's car, i did his too, he since replaced it with OEM M3 titanium shadow, or whatever that's called.

coupes are harder because of the door trim, so here's what we did to match the dash trim. looked really nice.

 

That all looks so amazing:drool:

 

i really like the way that alcantara looks, IMO it looks great!!

 

I see what you mean about it cheapening the look of the interior, not quite how I pictured it.

 

Alcantara wears like ****. Do not get it, you will make a mistake. I am thankful my ZHP came with a full-leather interior instead of some microfiber phaggotry. Why do you think BMW swapped to a perforated leather wheel on later ZHPoops?

Leather is of much higher quality, looks better, lasts forever (if taken care of), and feels fantabulous.

 

where can u get the oem piano black trim? stealership? God I would love to have that. I hate wood. eek I would imagine the price is steep though. $300 perhaps? or more?

 

You'd have good luck on this forum or eBay.. all interior trim is expensive when you buy it new from the dealership. I'd guess around 400 for sedan piano black, but I really have no idea.

 

I think the problem is that black alcantara looks more like a sun-faded black. I think it would look better if you used a lighter color.

 

piano black is the way to go. But $500! thats just crazy. although I have been thinking of covering the wood trim with suede like kpeng. But still its no piano black

it may be cheaper to just take my OEM trim to the paint shop. hmmm. he only charged me $100 to paint my hamman lip anyway.

Definitely. A shop did mine for $200. I'm sure you can find a place that's cheaper.

 

what would be a good color to paint then? JET BLACK?

I think piano black is just a glossy non-metallic black. I think carbon black would be kind of unique.

 

how about if i paint mine topaz blue to match my outside vert u guy think ill look good i got grey interior and black with ugly wood trim now
?
