That looks great too. I am not a big fan of carbon fiber, but you pulled it off. You also had the ol trusty crack in the upper window trim also. i went through three of them, until I finally found a non cracled one in the junk yard. I had to paint it Black Landau by SEM to match, but now it looks good.

Can you tighten the center console leather wrap?

Black interior are just pure sexyness!

Don't see how a person can actually improve the actual hand-crafted wood that came in the car. An unbelievable, fantastic wood and finish.

If my wood was fine I would have left it as it was.
