Not a big fan of fake wood interior pieces either, decided to give a try to a carbon fiber wrap



Also, rear arm rests came in plastic though fronts are real leather, so I decided to wrap the rears to match the fronts...

Didn't like that CF wrap that much, so I took that off and painted it all "Piano Black" color.
Also got the FLIR thermal camera installed due to traveling at night a lot. And got the rear entertainment system installed to keep my 2 year old happy

got the light bar installed along with some strobes in head/tail lights due to safety concerns when loading/unloading a trailer on the side of a busy road.
