Arrow the award for most CARBON FIBER goes to... ?

For sale. No affiliation. No shortage of things to discuss, but I'll lead off with carbon fiber.
96 Porsche Twin Turbo. Highly modified. Full Custom. (Phoenix, Arizona)
"The Full nose is wide body carbon fiber (front bumper, hood, fenders and rear tail. The interior is full of Carbon fiber trim including the Sparco 3 point harness Sport seats. 2 Carbon fiber sun visors with DVD screens. Rear custom Carbon fiber Kit for DVD screens and sub woofers. The front compartment has a full Carbon fiber enclosure for the Alpine Amps."

What, no CF door sills?

I believe this is an example of the rare "ghetto" option that was available for 1996.

Most of it is grose but I really like the Bat console face in CF, together with the custom boost guage. Is that (the boost guage) an aftermarket part that is available as is or is it totally custom?

looks to me like the center console is the phone version with carbon fiber. the gauge is most certainly aftermarket. this location for the gauge is terrible as it would be hard to read so low while at full boost when you should have your head up
very uncool car

Looks like a 1 piece front clip with a poorly fitting lid?
