Arrow To carbon fiber on not, and pics

I am upgrading to the SFR short shift kit, and getting a Momo F16 shift ****. I was going to get it in black leather, but I do not like the big stitching around it, so I may go with the carbon fiber F16 ****. I don't know how this will look in a stock car. I have no other carbon in the car, and am wondering how one of those carbon fiber dash and console kits would look. Would it complement the carbon **** or do they make the interior look bad. Does anyone have any pics of these kits in their car or anyone with pics of the Momo F16 **** in the car.

Hey Ringo, Check out the above auction. It didn't go through for some reason but it's for what they say is a real carbon fiber dash panels. It's about 100 duckets cheaper than any other source. I didn't buy it but thought about it.

On the shifter, you stealing my ideas? No just kidding. I want to see, and feel, the end result of the SFR kit. Hopefully it will take out some of the play that you and I both have in our shifters. The F16 **** seems tall to me. Seems like I'd be taking out some shifting motion by shortening the rod but then adding some of it in by adding a tall ****. I have to say that the F16 is my fav. **** but that's my personal delima on the situation. I'm very interested in the result as it's on the to do list.

I have one and sometimes I think 'rice' and that Im going to take it off, but then I get in my car and realize how much it wakes up the interior and to let it remain for awhile longer...It really doesnt look out of place (ie Looks better in person than in pics.)
Ive got pics..but none are uploaded right now..I may add a few in a minute. If she gets turned into a track car..Its history

So it will still be shorter. Momo also has a shorter version of the F16, but I think it is too short. Everything I have heard it will help with the play situation we have, and make the throw much shorter. Great... Remind me to email you the pics of the guy putting his $140K Z8 in the drink at the last PCA DE event.

Sam,
That looks great! Just a couple questions...is that carbon fiber a full replacement panel or do you stick it on top of the stock ones. And where did you get them? Thanks

unfortunately it sticks-on which I think makes it ghey, but it is real at least! I wish it replaced the parts, that would be kinda sweet.
It was so long ago, I think like <a href="http://www.wooddash.com" target="_blank">www.wooddash.com</a> or <a href="http://www.exoticwooddash.com" target="_blank">www.exoticwooddash.com</a>

(Its got white gauges now too, so its ULTRA-rice)

These are all carbon fiber wrapped NOT stickers including the Boost plate I layed the "PORSCHE" under the resin. Almost all of my plastic pieces are covered. I still have a few pieces I am working on. Will post more pics when I get my interior back in my car.
