Well i never liked my door panels on my camaro so i thought i would make them a little custom, ive seen others change some colors and add leather inserts but i did mine a little different, i made the inserts out of real CF, enjoy

That's pretty neat. Hoe much did it cost you to do? And what part of Atlanta are you in?

Looks REAL good! 2 Question.... how hot does it get, and do you burn your arm on it? Any plans to do the bottom/lower part of the door panel?

Looks good but isn't my taste. I do commend you on the work and effort to put into it for a nice looking piece, don't get me wrong it's just not my taste.

Looks Great!! Gives the interior a nice exotic/classy look which our cars are lacking. Although I would be afraid they would get very hot in the summer.

OP I 'd say do the lower fabric part with a higher quality fabric like suede or something.
a nice dark blue fabric would really set of the CF.
