Carbon Fiber Interior Trim Kit...

Carbon Fiber Interior Trim Kit...
You may go to AMBits for pictures of the individual pieces.
You can thank me for a picture of the kit, which answers questions that a few people may have.
I finally managed to get the thing through customs.
So far, I like the finish work. However, I do believe I could have gotten these pieces for a lot less than the price I paid, since upon obtaining them, I realize the cabin braces and instrument surround are laminated. Hence, i could have merely bought these and had them laminated at a price far less than what I paid for them. Oh well, such is life.... At least, I've got consistency of finish.
So far, I've installed the door caps, which are gorgeous. I've also installed the door scuff plates, as well as the instrument surround.
One thing you'll note from the picture of the door scuff plates is there are no holes to mount the name plate. I have custom plates with my name and my hand written initials (all laser etched). So, I'll be drilling these holes and tapping them later tonight.
To install the hand brake, it looks like I'll have to remove the driver's seat. I'll try to do it without removing the seat but I'm not too optimistic about the success I'll have doing so.
I'll post high-res pictures when all's done.

Rich-
I realized I didn't have a decent scale to weigh these things. However, from what I see the weight savings are negligible (ounces at best) from the door caps and the door scuff plates.
You also have to remember, I have the vantage V8S door scuff plates, which were very heavy.
As you can see the hand brake is a straight swap, as well as the cabin braces. Since the cabin braces are laminated, you won't see a weight loss there, but exactly the opposite.
As for the instrument surround, this was also heavier, which I could feel just from the weight of it in my hand because it too is a laminated part.
My apologies....

My has the factory optioned CF interior which is just a partial amount of what you have. It includes the ski slope/waterfall (whatever the correct names is), door arm sills, and the shifter surround. I wouldn't mind having the radio surround but that is enough for ME. I like the combination of hard and soft touch materials. I love leather every bit as much as I love CF!

My thought is that you do need some level of contrast. Otherwise, everything just goes "dead".

This is a wrap. If I remove the seats, I may have to reset the seats and the windows and do a relearn for misfires due to the car losing the stored misfire information.
I'll have the dealer install this part, along with the cabin braces.
