Well that is why I did it, I HATE the factory textured crap. I am covering the entire interior in leather or high grade vinyl and re covering the seats as well as new carpet and floor mats. It really gets rid of the cheap interior feel of the cars from the factory. I have done a few parts in CF and everyone that sees it seems to love it. But most importanly I love it. 
I guess I could have just left the orange peel to have that cheap factory feel .....but that is exactly why I didnt.
The process was kind of a pain in the *** honestly. Cut out the center section, laid in plexi, smoothed it in and filled other parts as well as grinding out the 6pd logo. body worked all of that, then put a vinyl overlay on the top of the plexi before any priming and painting was done then scuffed the plexi to disperse the light more when lit up. Primed, painted, dipped, peel off the overlay, clearcoat the entire part, wetsand and buff. Then installed 2 , 4 inch LED's under that utilizing the ash tray factory lighting, didnt know how bright it would be but it came out perfect, didnt want it like a flashlight in there haha It even dims when I use the dimmer.
Wanted it to be there when off and not like...LOOK HERE!! but at night I wanted it to be a highlight piece of the interior. Very happy with it.
Not cheap, or quick but def. worth it in my opinion.
