Carbon Fiber Interior Trim Installed!!!

I've always had a big infatuation for carbon fiber products, especially interior trims. These overlays are the thinnest on the market and they’re REAL 2X2 woven Carbon Fiber!

I really wanted to do the trim replacements, but the only person I know that does it in CA charges $1400!!! So I opted for the overlays for a fraction of cost. PM me if you want prices on them.

BTW, do you think I did the right combination with Silver Carbon all around and Black Carbon on the window switch panels, cup holder cover, and lower center console? Or should I have done all Black? Let me know your opinions. ENJOY!!!

What do you mean didn't do door handle? If you read the post, it'll answer your question.

So you don't like the carbon at all or is it the silver you don't like. It's more subtle in person, cuz the camera flash makes it blinged out looking. In reality they're not.

Oh, it doesn't come with the kit. Even if it did come with, I would've left it stock. I like the original part.

I assume they are hand laid or stuck on pieces? I'd gone with one color.

You're having someone custom made for you? Is it expensive?

It's a bit expensive since it's a good quality weave.
