Thinking of coating the back of the front seats in carbon, as the stuff they are made from gets marked easy. I should be able to make covers that stick on so it can be removed what do you think ?

Go for it, its hardly on clear view, and I personally dont think it will look too bad.

I seen a thread on M3 cutters, plastidip, its sprayed on and just peels off if needs be. Can be had in any colours. Worth a thought.

Added that I think its neither tacky or cool.

Add another poll choice. Tacky, cool or OK

It would be nice to see some but if they fitted well then they'd be cool.

Just like an SPG

Bought my car with carbon wrap covering the back of the front seats, probably to hide the sorry state of scuff marks.

Has anyone here tried fitting a real carbon shell?

If i do them it will be with real carbon and it will cover the full back of the seat.

I am still on the fence but may do 1 and see how it looks.
