Default CF interior trim

I was looking at my interio today, I want to replace my interior wood trim to carbon fibers,
where can I get it?

with some nice CF touch in the car, the interio will look really nice, alot more sportier compare to wood trim that came with the car.

that kit is for RHD cars, but that is the idea. I want to have liter color CF kit, to match up with my interior.

do the kit have door handle trim too or just center console.

I will like to have silver CF kit in my car.

it will look real nice, the whole wood trim is just out of place in a car like this.

what do you mean by Vinyl ?

the kit carsson kit is 7 pcs so all the door panel will have the CF bit too.

I don't want to do black because, dark color do not hide the scratch that well.

that why I want to do silver

I love that CF but it doesnt look like it fits well at all. Actually it looks like the aftermarket cheap fake wood kits that we put on our toyota cars we sell. I like (love) the look but in one of the pics it looks like it is unpealing.

You can try a kit from superior dash. It costs like $320 or so for their 7 piece kit. However, it is unknown how good the coverage is.

I wanted it in grey birdseye maple(like the GS's), but am too afraid to take such a leap. Good luck if you do!

Yeah, you can tell it's a add on overlay.

I also like the grey birdseye from the GS. Very nice.
