Love your results and was thinking of doing the same. The satin finish looks amazing.

I'm debating doing the shifter trim, infotainment trim and the door spears and was mainly looking at Carbonaddons. Were any of these 3 ordered from AliExpress? I don't mind the wait and would like to save some cash. If from Ali, can you share which vendor/store you bought from?

And finally, when you scuffed the CF parts, Do you do it really lightly? I'm worried that since it's so thin, you might go through it.

Thanks for the info,
Al

Off the top of my head, I honestly don't remember which was purchased where. I know for sure the HVAC vent surrounds, BUT it's all very likely the same stuff, you're only buying in US at a higher price so you don't have to wait a few weeks.

Keep in mind this is ONLY doable on the hard carbon parts, not just the "stickers" where there's a single layer of carbon with heavy "dome" of epoxy/resin on top....you will know because this feels like rubber and is more of a sticker you contour to your car versus fitting it properly. You can tell by looking at pictures pretty easily, see attached.

Don't go nuts with sanding, only scuff it. Basically just trying to make the surface visually look dull so the clear has something to grab onto and doesn't come off. Just make sure to get nooks in corners and such.
