I just ordered Piano Black trim to replace my Aluminum trim. It's an European only option.




vs.



Note: The picture above has the "cloth/leatherette" seats. I actually went in a BMW with those seats, they are actually pretty nice.

Very nice car!

A neighbour has one and I can't help staring at it whenever I drive by his home - very clean lines. Looks sporty and classy all at once!

Piano Black is stunning..I was about to change out my 650i when I bought the M6. Initially I preferred it over the CF, but the CF has grown on me

CF is very nice as well. The OEM CF kit is the only one I have seen that I would go for. I wouldn't want my interior trim to look "aftermarket." The OEM CF on the BMW goes for over $2,000, I can get it at a bargain price of $1,5xx.

I actually bought DiamondSchwartz/High Gloss trim. It looks like Piano Black at night but in the daytime there is A LOT of metallic blue/torquiose flake. I actually like it, it's not too dark. I'll post pictures later.

A few more recent pics:

A few teasers of the trim:




Vorsteiner Decklid should be on next week.

Nice. It's pretty funny that on the MX-5 I have they come with piano black dash trim but some people replace them with aluminum or wood like trim. I like the piano black though!

Oh and your car looks AWESOME. How much of a drop is that?

could you pm me the price of that trim? I was trying to get my car with it originally but had no luck. Now I have to buy it separately, just like you.

The drop is a tiny bit lower than H&R Sports from what I could compare to (my friend's car). It is definitely higher than H&R Race.

As for more pics of the interior, I was supposed to take pictures today but I went to the Pre-Screening of The Bourne Ultimatium. I'll take pictures tomorrow after work.

p.s. I definitely recommend seeing this movie, it was the best one of the series IMO.
