Looking forward to seeing the after-install pics!!

I've got quite a bit of CF stuff on mine, and I think it's a great compliment to the car.

Looks great.... can't wait to see it on the car!

Looks like you've done the work yourself... could you share the costs and time it's taken?

Beautiful! I wish the rear tray matched the other interior parts from the factory.

Also, in for the final pictures.

Thanks guys. I didn't do it but had it done. I thought about doing it but wanted a professional job done and not a DIY. Their shipping back to me today so if weather cooperates will have some high quality install pics next week. Damn winter sucks.

Very nice. I actually just dropped off some spare fog light bezels, grill surround and grill emblem for a hydrographics cf finish yesterday. I know it won't look quite the same as the real thing, but hopefully the effect is close.

Awesome, love all of it. Sweet shots too showing the weaving process...
Throw one of these in there for good measure, mine came yesterday.

Always wanted to do that with my center tray in the back seat, either that or fabricate it where a person could actually sit on it without having a sore bottom.
