For which model? The GT4RS has a different weave/finish than the Base, S, GTS, GT4 and Spyder.

Don’t forget matching door sills.

Thank you!
I was looking to see how the trim ties into the Bucket seats CF bits. I think it works well... much appreciated!

and yes - door sills of course!

Carbon Fiber Floor Mats...They are easy to clean, but I think I should have saved the money...They do give you the original carpet mats along with them. So you have a choice on which ones you want to use.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think the cf is a different sized weave than the buckets whereas the gt4rs trim weave which is the same as the seats. It's a big reason why I didn't get the carbon trim.

the weave in the RS may match the seats in weave size, but not in finish. I believe that the CF trim on the RS is matte (or raw or open pore or whatever they call it). So it isn’t a perfect match.

id argue that the smaller weave is a better visual match than having two different finishes.

I too skipped the CF trim as I saw it in person on buckets and the miss-match messed with my OCD. In addition, it was one more texture in a rather cramped interior and any scratch would drive me crazy. I went with leather instead.

Thanks for this. I don't care for CF trim but was going to do it anyway to match the buckets... but it doesn't match. Guess I'll go Brushed Anthracite in the GT4? But yet another texture...

Can you post a pic of your trim? Can't say I recall ever seeing leather. Just the brushed metals, CF and painted.

EDIT: Found it...

I had a similar dilemma. I went with the Spyder Classic interior and really didn't like the trim pieces painted GT Silver. This makes sense if the exterior is GT Silver but I went with Slate Grey. So I looked at CXX alternatives which included carbon fiber, aluminum, and leather. Didn't like the glossy finish on the leather and the aluminum added another texture. I went with black leather and it looks fantastic.

Didn't like the glossy finish on the leather so you went with the black leather and it looks fantastic?
