Default Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Interior Trim

According to LexusEnthusiast.com Lexus GS-F is getting a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer interior trim, bad news (if you like it) is that its only available in Canada.

https://lexusenthusiast.com/2015/12/...interior-trim/

Personally its a little too busy for my tastes. What do you guys think?

Absolutely disgusting.

Since this is a sports car, rather than one that leans more towards the luxury side.. I would rather have pure carbon fiber (maybe in a black weave pattern)!

Ewww. No. That's hideous for a Lexus. I can't believe they are even offering it. Looks like something they would use in something cheap like a Scion.

Ugh.. Kill it with fire before it breeds!!!!!!!!

Canadians can keep that!!!

Not feeling the suede thing on the new GSF and RCF either. I like my all leather-nuluxe combo better.

It would be okay if you were in the military (or ex-military) and liked going deer hunting in your Lexus!

I'm with you - I do not care for the suede on the armrest, doors and dash either. Suede rubs off and wears badly...plus it traps all sorts of lint and debris.

I believe Lamborghini actually brought it out to market first, and I saw it in my buddy's 2016 Huracan. He told me it's actually supposed to be lighter than the standard CF, and they call it forged carbon.

That looks amazing, I would love that if I could grab that and replace my interior trim with that.
