Couldn't someone just take some of the pieces and cover 'em with CF material?? Sounds like a DIY job with the potential to turn out great. Nay-sayers will call "rice" till the cows come home, tho...tread carefully. I personally like the idea if done right...I've never seen it before. Swat

people have wrapped their parts, but i havnt seen a thread on it in a long time.

rice? no, not as long as its not overdone and it follows a theme.

i remember back in the day a guy on here had his whole center console carbon fibered as well as other accents as well. there is a kit on ebay right now that sells pretty cheap it looks like the old rk sport version but a hell of a lot cheaper. its definitely not rice by any means unless u had say... carbon fiber floor mats or something.

but its still an overlay, even if it is real cf.

it would be cool to replace the parts in cf, but i dont know that its worth it to anyone.

Kind of blurry but this is a kevlar seat, carbon fiber pedals, carbon shift **** and carbon a/c radio delete panel.


Shift **** and panel


Carbon fiber on pedals and carbon strip on heel plate.
