Carbon Fibered My Interior Please Comment

So I've started modding the inside of the car. So far I have CF all of the trim, wheel, shifter, and various other pieces.

I went with red carbon fiber for the interior trim as I will be switching the seatbelts and face gauges to red shortly. I wanted it to jump out which it definatly does. Also replaced the well lighting with red LED's.

I'm currently doing the armrest which will match the wheel, leather on the sides, carbon in the middle with a red stich.

On the exterior will be carbon mirrors, door handle inserts, and rear bumper sill plate. The engine cover is also going to be custom carboned.

Let me know what you think.

I like the traditional black CF looks. Not a fan of any sorts of "colored" CF looks.

Agree with the above. Dig the regular CF but not loving the red. Are you actually doing all of this work? or are you buying trim pieces already made to fit.
If you are making all of it's it is impressive work.

I have a guy doing the work for me. I'll ask him if he wants me to post his name up. He's wrapping everything in real carbin fiber over original pieces.

The red looks much better in person. As i said after i add the red seatbelts, face gauges, and custom mats (black with red piping) everything will go together. Plus the red breaks things up where you really wouldn't notice the black.

The center console Should be about another month or so. Going to do the gauges this weekend and mats are in order. Seat belts will be done end of June.

Although it is difficult to see the quality of the work (and I am sure that it's great in person), I'd steer away from it. I am so used to seeing these "colored" CFs in many riced out cars so I am against it. I am sure that there are many(?) cars out there with these "colored" CF pieces that look great but this is my 2cents since you asked for comments.

It has it own unique look. To me it's a little to much CF. You lost that Porsche premium look. I'm sure it's really nice in person.

Too busy for me, but don't let my opinion stop you from enjoying your Cayenne.
