Carbon Fiber Interior
I love carbon fiber, and I have been looking for interior carbon fiber kits for the ISX50. I'm just wondering if there are any carbon fiber interior kits for the ISX50 that are not just held on with 3M tape? I'm just worried about the tape damaging the wood interior and I'm wondering how well it holds on. Thanks!!

Please do. I'm itching for a set. Is there any way for us to buy them? I think I remember you posting a shot of the center piece on another thread.

LOL. Silver CF? No such thing. Carbon Fiber is black in color with a high lusture. Its weave brings out its pattern and makes everyone drool.
The silver stuff is called Texalium and is made by Hexel. Its basically Silver fiberglass and also weights the same. Its much more abundant and no where as strong as CF nor is it as light.

I've got some of their stuff at the 3K Texalium and 3K twill CF at the house and I'm using it to make some panels on one of my cars. The CF is a lot easier to use but the Texalium isn't and will need to be vacuum bagged to make work. I'm really debating about making laying down real CF on my OEM panels directly like this guy has done on this thread.
