CF Wrap interior?

I was wondering if anyone had done any carbon fiber wrap on their interior (dash, arm rest, pillars ect.)

I was considering wrapping a few things but I really don't want to waste my time if, 1. It looks retarded or 2. It just won't last.


Any pics are appreciated.

The big 2 I'd thought of doing were the pillars and dash. I'm a bit concerned there will be a badass glare though

I'd like to make a note that my trim is already color matched to my exterior, I was thinking of doing the actual dash board.

You'd basically need to rip out the entire dash. Are you prepared for that?

Haha yeah I know. And yes I'm prepared to do so IF I get the answers I'm looking for here. Like I said above, I'm worried it would cause a glare issue. I'd planned on wrapping it 3-4 times, wet sanding it and then clear coating the **** out of it.
