If you are willing to take apart your interiors and have capability to do plastic weld, then yes.
I am currently working on something to make it easier to do CF interior trim.

Some of the new 3d and 4d carbon wrap vinyls look pretty good with choices of matte and gloss.

I had real carbon trim In my M4.. looked amazing.

I'm ok with change for my 5. Ordered Grey poplar trim with Ivory nappa Leather. Considered the "upgrade" of the gloss black trim.. but it's so prone to showing scratches it wasnt worth the extra 1k to me . if free I prob would've checked the box on my build and just placed a ceramic coating on it once home from delivery day.. but grey poplar looks good against the ivory leather. And will still do a ceramic coating over it on delivery day.

If I start craving carbon trim again I will most likely go vinyl wrap as it's a 3 year lease.

Hopefully some good aftermarket and oem carbon choices become avail this year.. would be a huge market for it in my opinion.

Not a bad idea. Will try and wrap it myself.
