How to Get Rid of Wood Grain Interior

[duramaxdiesel]

My '08 LTZ has that ugly wood grain interior finish. I've seen a few guys with a satin metal finish. Where do I get that?

Thanks!

Carbon fiber wrap huh? Is that pretty easy to install?

Ok so I went on eBay and found the carbon fiber wrap. It does look nice. Just curious if it's pretty easy to apply?

There is a truck on here for sale blk CC I asked him about the carbon fiber wrap and he said it wasn't too horrible to do, his turned out awesome too::

Yep cousins truck is this way. Got it that way because he hates wood trim. Don't blame him, a lot of it looks pretty tacky. Leave it to the high end cars.

Good info. Thanks Ben! Do I actually try and pull the wood grain off and replace it with the brushed silver pieces?

You can also get the 3m vynil in a brushed aluminium "look"

I ordered a roll of 3M Di-Noc Dark Black Carbon Fiber look vinyl. Supposed to be harder to apply but better quality (like anything). Going to try it out in our fruitliner. Has a gaudy faux wood dash in it. Makes it look like an 80s porn flick. I don't see the point in "tricking" out a fruitliner but I hate looking at that stuff. The wood in the KW at least looks somewhat decent. Have to get it with the Diamond interior. The newer wood they use is very dark and looks a lot better.

Pay attention to the widths and lengths. I don't like seams, especially being a newb I doubt i'd be able to hide them well so I got a sheet wide enough for the biggest piece (24x48) Already have a nice heat gun and all of the squeegees and chislr. Wonder if it works with application fluid like most vinyl? that would make things very easy. Guessing it would.

They have 735 "looks" for the Di Noc series, but Carbon Fiber is the easiest to come by.
