Ive had it for awhile now, it was the first carbon fiber interior ever made for a GS400, I got it for $240 from exoticwooddash.com and I had a shop install it for me for like $60

biggie:

looks great!

See if you can paint the wood pieces silver or wrap them in CF. That'll match the pieces better!

globe Im actually waiting for that black wood to come out so I can do a swap, I think it would complement the carbon fiber very nicely

martin I think momo has an awsome carbonfiber shift **** it looks exactly like our shift ***** except the wood part is CF

Is the pieces actual replacement or it's a glue on with a double sided tape?

dnguyen_GS430 - From the looks of it, I'm nearly 100% positive that it's a "sticker" kit...

I would like to see someone make a full REPLACEMENT kit...that would be nice!

All the carbon fiber kits that i've seen have all been overlay kits (AKA sticker ones), and have only seen 1 kit that was an actual replacement kit and I think that it was for a Mercedes SLK. The cost of creating a replacement kit is prohibitively expensive, but damn, I would love to have one though...

yes its a sticker kit but as you can see it fits pretty well . Real carbon fiber replacment parts would probably cost an arm and a leg

I think if I had a silver GS with black interior I would change all the factory wood to black wood and then instead of get a carbon fiber kit, i would get a brushed aluminum (but dark not bright silver) kit....I *think* that would look good or even better than just carbon fiber, because I have a feeling that carbon fiber might be out of style soon...just my opinion

And I also think that every black GS interior should come with black wood not regular wood, the regular wood looks best only in beige interiors...red burl wood on a black interior doesn't look too good in my opinion

they make tape that look like carbon fiber so u can tape over anything u want (like the wood pieces) and they would look like CF.
