So after seeing chade46s car i have been toying with the idea of wrapping my trim in fabric. i want something unique and am not interested in CF or brushed aluminum vinyl.
So i went to joannes and walked around for a bit and had them cut me small pieces of different materials. and now i would like you guys to vote on them. I have a TiAg sedan with a black leatherette interior and black trim.
also if you have some idea about what to wrap it in please feel free to let me know. especially if you can photoshop it in.
honestly i wouldnt do any of those. i did go the cf fabric route and gotta say it looks amazing. the ones u posted just wouldnt look that good imho. but if i were to choose one, id go with the second one.
thats fair enough. i have seen lots of the CF ones, and i was never a big fan of cf to begin with. i also wanted it to be somewhat unique. the issue is i have no other colors in my car for cues...
first off, try selling your trim first. A few people out there want the piano black trim, then buy yourself some wood trim. This will help someone, and you won't ruin nice trim with fabric. Second, I would go with the second trim. It matches the theme of the interior, while not standing out so much. It also looks like it would blend really well with the trim all around the car
damn i was kinda hoping one would get largely outvoted by the others. i really like the feel of the flannel (trim 1) but the second one is really unique and kinda subdued....
I think you could find better attractive fabs, but if you are going for a odd look then anyone one of the first two would do. the checkers looks to cheesy.
im diggin option two its chill and classy and would be totally fvcking unique. plus those colors are mellow. people that flame the idea of clothe wrapping trim probly havent seen it... its pretty ballerin when done correctly.
i know for a fact that a gay lumberjack and a race car driver picked these out.
those thin fabrics will, im toying with the same project and every piece of actual fabric ive tried has. youre gonna need something with a solid backing, not fabric on the back. ive tried 2 kinds of glue and about a dozen different kinds of thinner fabrics that i liked, my next step is to try contact paper.
