I don't like carbon fiber. Maybe you could paint it. It's just glorified fiberglass, after all...

Sandoval - You have an interested party here! If you do end up making a production for either the sills or the shifter bezel (WOW!) try to send me a PM!

i'm not a big fan of the stick-on carbon-faker look, but sandoval's looks really nicely done. of course being genuine really helps.
ringo951, you can find those carbon faker tack on kits on ebay - i think they run around $150 or so. heck, wait until sandoval starts production and buy his - they look so much better.

SANDOVAL I really like how you covered the console area w/ leather on the sides! That is what gives it a rich look. How did you do that? Do you have some side angle pics?

Had all interior Pieces recovered in leather. I did a Non-Stock two tone Black and Metropol Blue. My Interior Used to be Navy but I wanted to add the CS wheel and thouh it would stand out and not look natural with the ALL navy interior.

My car was sprayed yesterday and they are finishing it up this afternoon... Then they have to finish it... So the interior is all out of the car.

How difficult was this to do? Is it a "you have to have much experience" job or "the average Joe can do it" job? I'm speaking about the carbon and the leather.
I'm very impressed.
