Wowza Chris! That looks amazing!! That tatoo is cool also! I have a similar one on my wrist!

Seriously though, that is the sickness and I'm glad they turned out that well. Holler!

not really a CF fan in general, but it looks great for what you're going for!

there is this weird circle or U thing on the center piece that would drive me crazy though. but it definitely looks a lot better than some sticker CF that people get.

Yeah, there is a problem with the weave, I was waiting to see if anyone would notice in the pics. I will be getting a replacement wrapped since that part didn't turn out to my or Travis' liking. The other 3 pieces are perfection

Looks good, Chris. They look like they fit perfectly. I thought the thickness of the material would cause problems with fitting the moonroof button and the bezels for the door handles.

That's where attention to detail kicks in. Much consideration is taken for OEM fitment of switches and trim. But then stupid mistakes like the U shaped worm happen.

I have about $180 invested in a spare woodgrain set, and spent $220 on the labor and shipping, so roughly $400 invested in these 4 parts alone

Hey Chris, I call dips on your old woodgrain kit if you decide to sell it, make a little cash back on that sweet investment...Well maybe only an investment to us at AZ!

Meh, the CF accents are one small project, I just installed my 5th suspension setup, am working on a new system, and have been doing a lot of work in the engine bay, so CF really isn't my main focus. I was just excited to get these parts in because I've been waiting for them for at least 2 months. And I couldn't put my interior back in until I got those parts back, plus they're one of a kind

Damn man I wish back in the day I had more money to do this instead of the vinyl overlay

very pimp........I just wish I modded the CL more, my focus now is on my Yukon

glad to see someone did it right the first time and the real deal.

anyone know if my instruction to remove the trim are still around?

Threw the interior back in, had a set back with one of the projects, but put the interior back in for state inspection, the interior's not finished by a long shot, but coming along slowly
