Very subjective, but personally I wouldn't spend $750 on an option that's a) out of sight 95% of the time, and b) subject to scuffing every time you get in and out of the car. That's just me and you should please yourself, but you did ask....

I did every Carbon Fiber option they offered. I just like the look. It just comes down to what you want personally. I did not go with Ceramic brakes. For me, I had not interest and used the money that one might spend on that option and used it on options that please me.

But if you like it; it will look cool. I have seen them.

<<<I like them but as Mike said, they are subject to scuffing.

I got illuminated sills in aluminum. Get the carbon if that's what you like. If y'all are worried about scuffing, just by a roll of clear protective film and apply it to the sills.

Haha, thanks Tim.
Very personal choice, but I love mine - makes me smile every time I open the door. Have not noticed any scuffing, but I am very careful. You can, in fact, apply a film if you are worried...
Just my 2 cents, and I have attached a pic.

Haha. I love that even the font / type style is correct.

Thanks - I brought my poster to the dealership so we could get it as close as possible - there were several font options, and wanted to get it perfect. Have the poster in my garage, so easy to explain to those that don't recognize it...

Yep - and as an aside, right before my car went away to dealer/port, I received these custom ordered fabric panels (they are 6 feet by 6 feet)...pretty cool in person, I feel.

Post 'em up dude. I suspect there will be enough for a group buy.
