Can't say that I don't like the carbon fiber wrap, I would like to see it from a further angle and fully assembled, then it will be easy to tell if it flows well

Yeah my cousin recommended me to do that.

Would it be too much CF on the car though? I wanna keep it looking luxury

not really a fan of CF, but it looks ok. id prefer it to be just plain black.

From what I've seen the plain black n aluminum just looks weird

most people usually just leave it black and say they will eventually paint it but never do haha

plus I couldn't find a color match for the dash

Not a big fan of CF wrap but it will look way better if you CF wrap the climate control. Aesthetically better and it "flows" as others call it.
