Default carbon fiber fun

so for some reason wrapping things in carbon fiber is getting a little too amusing to me so i did some parts on the car:

if u have tan, it still looks good, i had tan before with cf wrap and it was nice cuz the color between cf and tan made everything pop nicely, im doing a black conversion right now though

i really feel this carbon fibre cheapens the SC, sorry.

It looks like you wrapped it properly though which is a good thing.

if you would have seen the original wood ud say different haha
previous owner didn care for the car at all, the wood was cracked, chipped, faded scratched it was bad so i fabbed it back together as best as i could and i was going to jus paint it gloss black but figured the cf would give a little texture and different look

That is a good effort on the wrapping.. I have to agree with the others, just doesnt match. IMO. Lets end on a good note, looks good. It all depends what you like, not anyone else. Thats all that matters.

Wow, you really did have fun with those stuff huh... I like it! They really look nice! But I don't want it for my own SC, unless I have a Civic or something similar I'd do it...

in that case good job man.

Yes ive seen some really rough interiors on here before and I also know we dont always have money to throw around to replace the whole interior.

This was probably a good alternative in the meantime.
