I used 3M CF vinyl. Difficult curvy pieces I had professionally wrapped (like the door woofer mounts) and the flatter easier pieces I did myself. I did use the Garage 9 CF gauge panel, their gauge trim rings, and their metal bezels for the *****.

I find it funny that people seek out wood inserts it makes the car look older not newer why are dash boards and floor boards called boards....because they used to ALL be wooden boards ! Morgans used wood frames for years, some fiberglass lotus cars had plywood bulkheads like a boat.
The carbon fiber LOOKS newer but there I find that the FAKE looks like carbon fiber seems a bit ricer. But I care little how it LOOKS I just care how it drives
They only impression I enjoy making is out driving someone in their new Porsche. To me that is priceless !

As for the wood I don't follow your logic there.
The most expensive luxury cars on the market today are covered in wood trim, nothing "old" looking about it. In fact, a tastefully done wood interior makes the car look more modern since the 80's into the 90's we saw a pull-back from wood interiors in favor of more blacks and grays, which now dates a care more than anything.
The problem I see with the "aftermarket" wood trim is many simply overdo it, but that boils down to personal taste.
/yes I know this is from 2012
Here is the wood from a Audi S8, S6, S-Class, Maybach, and Aston Martin (...even some wood steering wheels in there....)

I like the CF in a black interior because it breaks up the solid black with some patterned black - thats's why I did the vinyl wrap in my 928. My 997 has a bunch of real CF trim which is where I first experienced the look and why I wanted to duplicate it.
My wife's 997 has the Macassar dark wood (center consolle, shift ****, ebrake, cup-holder and dash trim) with black leather, and that looks very nice as well, but it's not a popular trim package with the 997 crowd. Our Infiniti QX56 SUV has the dark wood trim along with charcoal grey leather and we like that too.
Lots of different options out there so people can have their cars the way they want them.
