At least it's black, if it was green I'd give you a hard time about it. Not my taste but looks okay. Probably would look better in a donk on 30's.

The texture doesn't flow with anything else in the interior and its just overall to busy IMO. But if OP likes it,its all that matters. Its definitely different, ill give you that.

FE, if you like it, that's all that matters. Not my style, but not my TL either.


If ggesq has never seen it (and he's been here since 2006) and I've never seen that, congrats then on doing something never done before.

True. I didn't really post for anyones approval .
I like it.

I just thought i'd share something different besides the same boring cf that everyone uses

I actually got the brake handel idea from you. instead of the cf that it came with I used the Gator vinyl. Thanks for the idea.

I do agree about CF being overused. CF vinyl is pure rice, real CF is cool as it's functional. Never got the point of putting vinyl over something to give it the appearance of being a lightweight material. But to each their own.

If you like it enough to keep it, consider doing the trim on the doors as well so everything flows

You can vinyl the carbon fiber portion of your Type-S shift knob so it would flow better.
