Looks clean but I had let flown the waves of the wrap into the same direction.

Oem raw exposed cf is more textured. There is no front oem raw matte cf vent trim and if you want to add that look to compete the interior (assume you already have all oem cf for interior), I think it's not a bad idea using Dinoc |

I would partly agree, the CA-421 is the closest structured wrap to the OEM Carbon pieces of BMW. Had given up to try wrapping the shifter because of too much roundels, corners and so on...and at the end I fed up with the tries so I bought the Performance peaces at a dealer. After installation it was for me a match close to 90% and thats enough.

Has anyone tried the carbon fiber "decals" off eBay?
I'd like to do this but am nervous about taking apart the Interior of my car https://www.ebay.ca/itm/5D-Carbon-Fiber-Interior-Decal-Sticker-Trim-Package-For-BMW-3-Series-F30-F31/292973547505?fits=Make%3ABMW&hash=item4436958ff1:g :WnwAAOSwALdcc2~W |

I wouldn't take a chance on that. Vinyl wrap has to be actually wrapped around the back of the part, otherwise it will peel off at the edges. Those decals don't look like they have enough material to do that.
As for taking apart the interior that's not optional, it's mandatory. The wrapped parts have to be removed to be wrapped. |

Agree, if you havent any experience with wrapping I would highly recommend to buy a roll and try that way.
The decals wouldnt make it easier.

Buy a roll larger than you need. You will screw things up on the first few attempts. What I found to be key is a low wattage heat gun, mounted on a work bench, so you can hold the piece being wrapped in one hand, passing it through the hot air stream, using the other hand to stretch and place the vinyl.
