hhhmmm, I would be interested in knowing roughly what something like that goes for

Silver looks nice with your black interior, good choice.

Lots of contrast going on in that interior.
Livens it up, but could be a little intense for some.
I think the silver looks better than the carbon fiber (I'm not a fan of excessive amounts of carbon fiber).
If it were me, I would have sought out a flatter finish to the silver. The shine seems distracting.

I love the full leather interior.

I may be interested in some of the Carbon fiber parts. PM me with prices before you put them on Ebay.
Thanks

Do you mind sharing what kind/brand of paint/clear coat you used? Does the particular Silver you put in match the interior silver that is on the door handles etc? Which Silver is it?
I'm thinking of painting my center console.

I am in need of some Alumna door pocket lids and the interior door handles to complete my Alumna look interior(at least as far as I want to take it) but even Carnewal's price for those pieces is too much IMO.

Looks good Chris!

Really like how it looks with the silver! I've seen one car with full CF and it was too much. One thing I didn't like was the feeling of the doors when resting your elbow on them.
