black gloss looks best out of them pics fella, the carbon may look better if the top part was done too.  all imo of course  :happy2:

I know a guy who can carbon all those parts, (not the wrap) he said he can do the 7 pieces for the door/dash trim for about £180. May get him to do it for me at some point,as I think the carbon wrap looks a bit wrong,all imo of cause, not meaning to offend any who have this.

I like gloss black for the side strips etc, but anything on the centre console looks OTT to me.

^^^Steve, did you wrap it yourself? Is the top bit done too? If so, doesn't the heat from the blowers make it peel?
