I just stripped off the aluminum weave on the doors and rear side panels to convert to the silver reflections. I am going to stick with the dash vent trim though. I like the separation of the upper dash from the instrument and control section. Any CF is a personal taste kind of thing. Thanks for commenting.

Looks good, but i think the 2 tone should go, just do all black CF but its your car and if you like the 2 tone then stick with it!!! nice workmanship!

I think the door and rear trim pieces being silver reflections will make the doors not look disjointed as we discussed especially the passenger door. Let me know when you send them. I think I have enough material left. I will check and email you later.

Were you the same dude that posted multiple overkill threads about the same CF interior pieces awhile back, because this looks eerily too familiar?

Well you posted here for everyone, so here is my honest opinion. If you look closely, the finish and the detail is pretty terrible IMHO. There are spots that look warped and the CF weaves don't look clean at all. I give you respect for tackling such job, but you should've left it for the more experienced. Just my .02

Got a link for where you got the material? Definitely looks better then a vinyl wrap

Good job doing the DIY, probably something I couldn't handle myself. However it's not something I'd say looks good. Maybe if you did about half of the parts you did it wouldn't have hurt my eyes so bad, but hey, your car, your decisions.

It's like when you give a kid a paint brush and some paint.. two hours later the entire house is green.. down to the cutlery.
I am sorry but I am no fan, especially where the two different carbon patterns are next to each other |
