Carbon Fiber Center Display

Hey guys i got a guy in california that is going to make my center display carbon fiber. My personal opinion is that it would look great around the navigation and around the air conditioning controls. What do you guys think?

not my car but all the silver part is going to be carbon fiber.

I think it will look nice, I've been waiting for Porsche to release that as a Carbon option for quite some time now.

I personally think the silver part is a good offset to the carbon fiber. That's why I chose to change the center console to CF to make the two stand out from each other.

I think it would look fantastic but getting that PCM out sounds like a lot of work . I would be concerned with possible rattle after installation .

The bigger problem is laying carbon onto and around the tight switch openings. Don't expect to see this anytime soon. Not much room there for the buildup for carbon/clear. But...we can paint it for you anytime.
