Clean or Tacky - Carbon fiber wrapped my e-brake handle
So I had a lot of leftover carbon fiber wrap and it was a close match to my neffy wrap dash. Decided to cut a piece and wrap it around my ebrake handle. The cut is slightly off but it was just a trial piece just to see how it would look since i have a ton leftover. What do you guys think?

Looks fine to me. Just gotta get some other stuff in your interior to match. How about that gear selector trim/plate/garnish? How hard would it be to wrap that?

If I may -
this is the third post in which you've asked members here if something-or-other is "Clean or Tacky". Why not just have the courage of your convictions and do what you want? Surely you know what you like, right? So just do what you like, and the heck with everyone who doesn't like it! :)

Clean.
@ Deathegg -- members on here (and ever other car forum I've ever been on) have always asked what the community thought of some their mods. As long as they are ok with ALL of the answers, I see no harm in it.

Looks good to me. Thanks for asking. I know you're excited about it and want to share with the rest of us.
Good job! |

Hmmmm....I'm a bit different then; I'll certainly post pics of mods (if I ever do some!), but won't ask opinons, because I know I'll GET opinions. On another forum I visit for my old car, I posted lots of mods, but I posted them to show what could be done for the benefit of the other members, not for validation. But hey, that's me! :)
So, to answer your question- it looks good! I may do that myself, but I'd want the little chrome button too.

Honestly, I think that this sort of customization usually ends up looking great.
It puts a personal touch on the car. I think your car would look great with a bit more carbon fiber in other random places too! So I vote clean.

Looks good! Has there been any peeling around the edges through normal use?

Nope none yet with regular usage but I have yards of the stuff so it's easy the reapply if it starts to get worn
