Default Carbon Fiber interior?

Are there any carbon fiber kits that replace the interior wood trim for the SC430 and if so, where can I find them?

Hmmm that's interesting. What kind of material is that?

I actually met a gentleman who owns a SC 430 and he asked me if I knew of any cf interior kits. He left me his number and I told him I would contact him if I came across any.

How much does that gentleman want to spend?

Replacement kits could cost him thousands.
It is cheaper to send in his core to a shop that can refinish it (maybe a thousand bucks ??)







Or some overlay like these for $110.
They have Aluminum, Wood Grain and Carbon Fiber Finishes available.
Hey, I even saw a GUCCI finish. haha

Yeah we told him his best bet is to take them to a shop and have re-finished with cf. He said he doesn't want to do the overlays, so I'm guessin he's looking to spend money. Any recommendations on shops who work with cf?
