Here you go. Some shots of my interior with carbon. Not all factory...most of it from MA Carbon. Looks great to me. The steering wheel is from Vivid Racing.

looks great! Did you install the CF trim around the chrono yourself? How hard was this?

Was very easy. It came with easy to follow instructions. Took 10-15mins. Most of the CF parts are easy to install.

They are replacement of the OEM trim pieces correct? Not a cheap overlay, right?

Your car looks awesome! i will be copying it Thanks for posting.

Thanks. Correct, they are full carbon parts and full OEM replacement parts. MA Carbon does a core deposit on most parts.

I absolutely love carbon fiber and your car looks absolutely fantastic. I ordered mine with carbon fiber also but my interior is black. Yours definatly adds more contrast then mine will.

Great job...looks outstanding!

I didn't think the factory offering was real CF, just a look alike. Is that correct?

For the price the factory charges...it is definitely real CF.

That really does look great... Thanks for posting. I was thinking if having the dealer do the install but from the sound of it, it's a fairly straight forward do-it-yourself?!

Most of the parts are pretty easy to install and MA Carbon can provide detailed instructions and tool set. Check out their website for instructions before deciding to do a DIY or getting dealer to install them.

Wow that looks awesome. Beige looks great with cf. and that steering wheel is pretty sweet too! Love the small mods you've done to your car so far.

oh and you should add something like 'voltage' in your gauge cluster. You can fit 4 items instead of just three. Just incase you didn't know!

I would love it if they offered a center counsel cf piece, not just the trim, but then again that may be too much. Also I just noticed the red stitching. Even cooler!
