The carbon fiber trim headache on my 2007 GT3 RS

I have the CF trim on pretty much everything, but the only areas that are delaminating are the cup holder trim piece above the glove box, and the cigarette lighter cover trim piece. Everything else seems OK at the moment, no cracking etc... My local dealership quoted me around $1,500 to replace those two pieces with OEM.

Don't lean across the center console the weight can easily Crack it. My door handles cracked. Everything cracked. Avoid sun and hot interior.

I have it only on center console and cup holder trim. Center cracked and delaminated, cup holder piece warped and then came off. Going to eventually replace. Center with alcantara. And try to find leather to match dash for cup holder.

Dump the carbon trim pieces on top of the dash and just get OEM leather. Mine warped too, but the funny thing is they laid flat when it got hot. I was wondering if I could "train" the pieces to lie flat again. But just replaced mine with leather.
On a car that nice it might be worth replacing the console and cup holder cover with new esp if they changed suppliers and fixed the problems....we hope.

Center console cracked on my car too imagine that. With so much alcantara inside. Probably gonna have someone cover it to match the rest of the interior. The painting to exterior color looks good but I prefer to have less glossy surfaces

And that's why the base interior rocks!

My 01 Turbo was loaded with over $9K worth of carbon on the interior and it all started delaminating and peeling. I glued it down early but that was just temporary. What strikes me is the number of years they sold this overpriced crap. We know they were still installing it in 2011 but I wonder about the 2012 and beyond cars?

yep, same issue here in the massive center console CF trim. Cost to replace was ~5K. Had CPO take care of it! I basically don't touch the center console anymore lol
supposedly, the "upgraded" factory CF trim is better than the 2010/2011 CF....I was told this but it looks exactly the same to me so who knows
