Finished installing all the CF in the interior except for the A/C Vent surrounds, which I'm waiting for...



Center console, Foot divider, Fire Extinguisher - also added 3 additional power sources, which you see on the foot divider.



Instrument cluster & airbag surround

Wow that looks incredible. Can't wait till you get the CF A/C vents that will definitely complete the look for sure.

I bought them from an England Lotus supplier. That was one of the recent mods I did too...They look great, but IMO, the metal is pretty slippery, there are so many times that my fingers reach in to use my turn signals (yea, I, a NY'er use my signals every time! ), my finger slips and misses it. A little annoying, but it's a lot nicer...

That looks excellent.

Now it's time to do something with the orange and red reflectors/lights on the fenders.

Okay, I'm not a big vinyl guy and orange is a pretty bold color choice, but I have to say what you've done just plain works. Very nice!

I think this was already asked, but do they make clear replacements for the side markers on the wheel arches? The red on the rear is messing with the overall sexiness of this automobile.

Or maybe the orange front ones can fit in the back.
