I wanted to extend the carbon fiber look on the center console in my new Carrera GTS. To me, the factory trim looked skimpy. DB Carbon had exactly what I wanted - perfect match to OEM and just enough without going too far. Easy install and reasonable price.
Thanks Daniel.
Looks good! I keep thinking of getting those, but I don’t like that they are stick-on. Are the edges exposed? I know they are quite thin, but the idea of anything stick-on just bothers me even if only I would ever know…

I think it looks OEM and they are very well-made
But - If it will bother you to know you stuck them on then I do not know how you change that perception.
I have a set of these in stock for single button heated seats and dual button heating and cooling seats. I also have a set of DB Carbon extended **** paddles in stock.
Feel free to PM me if you are interested in them. These are available now.

Update - I removed the added carbon fiber trim pieces on the console. My overly **** eyes didn't't like the slightly non OEM look. The seat heater switches were not flush and the upper edge of the shifter trim pieces were slightly raised.
The carbon pieces from DB Carbon are excellent quality but stick-ons actually do look like stick-ons.
Wonder if someone could figure out a way to 'wrap' interior pieces like we wrap the exterior?
Sure you can. I've done it on my KTM 990 Motorcycle to cover up the cheezy plastic. Get some 3M Dinoc Carbon Fiber Film off Ebay, the optional adhesive, and a heat gun/hair dyer. You'll be amazed what you can cover with the Dinoc and some patience, and it will look like real carbon fiber. It's not like regular vinyl, so the heat gun/hair dryer is necessary and use the adhesive primer for really complex shapes to keep it from lifting in the sun. I've used it with great success.

Yes, you get some recess at the seat heat / cool switches that are really the only sign of an overlay. I bought a used set off this Forum, mainly to protect the original gloss plastic underneath.

I bought the whole shiny carbon console set from DB Carbon a few years ago and had it on my recently turned in leased car and the stick on pieces on either side of the shifter were 98% perfect and only I could tell they were stick on. The reason why it wasn’t 100% perfect was because the adhesive that came on the pieces is SUPER sticky and once I pressed down and put it in place it wouldn’t come up to readjust and I was less than a millimeter off on only one side. The piece that stuck over the seat heating and cooling area did come off when I tried to change from the cup holder insert back to the smoking package insert a few months ago. The piece on the bottom around the parking brake from DB is a full replacement of the OEM piece so that’s a perfect fit. One thing to note is when I removed the pieces on either side of the shifter to return the car in its original state, the adhesive tape didn’t come off easy. I needed to use a heating gun, a little goof off and a razor blade to get that adhesive fully off. It took about an hour and was a big PITA. In the end it came off and looked like new after but it was a lot of work.
