Not me, I think they would be scratched and look terrible in a very short time.

My friend mark has some on his mx-3. He had his OEMs covered in CF. They look quite nice and havent been scratched at all.

these turn out very nicely when wrapped in CF... just look at urbanconcept's tutorial and wrap your own!

The do get scratched over time (that's why I have a set for show and a daily driving set 8) ):

Looks nice . Of course they will get scratched over time but all door sills do.

Is there any benefit to those other than look?

haha...

on a serious note, how hard is to to do it yourself, wrap things in CF? Did it take a couple of tries before you got it right? Also, how costly is it?

I don't know yet... everything I have wrapped in CF was done by someone I know and it was $$$...

I'm thinking about trying a few pieces myself now that I can follow a tutorial... first I need to find somewhere to buy CF sheets...
