Ugly Red Wood out Carbon IN...

Most of you will be mad when i say this, but i bought the GS because it was a cheaper car and bang for the buck you can't compare. My last few cars were Porsches and I needed to free up some money for investments so i bought this car.
Wait until i have to make the wheels fit, there is going to be a lot of cutting and pulling, considering i want to drive tucking rim all day long!

I would stick to a stock Porsche over a riced out GS any God give day.
Good luck with the build

I will maybe eventually have everything done in piano black but for now I needed to get ride of the red wood.
I had a CLS with wood trim that was nice, it's the red that I dont like.
And if Carbon looks cheap and ricy someone should tell Porsche because my 911 had carbon trim too...

The door panel was not covered in that photo yet... The edges are not noticeable at all in person.

that's some cool looking fake wood, but the whole setup lacks cohesion.
you can't just dabble pieces of wood everywhere around the car. luxury cars need big slabs of wood
your trying to compare a luxury sedan to a sports coupe. not the same thing.

nice job with the install. Thought about doing that on my M3 but never got around to it.
I agree with most here, CF doesn't look right on a GS. However, I disagree with the notion that more wood equals more luxury. too much wood can ruin an interior. I've seen far too many Lexus GS with add on wood trims and it just makes the car look like *****.
