Lol!
Looking good my man!
CarbonGS' GS3 Evolving Too!
nah, not the bottles. these are not my actual bottles so i am not wrapping them. eventually i would like to do some carbon accenting on the bottles but we will see. thanks! bottles will be painted glass black to keep the trunk clean.
looks great!
I have a question though. I realize you are putting HKS cam gears but why make a cut out on the cover? Are you going to adjust it that frequently? Dunno how the 2JZGE cam gear covers are but seems like a huge risk to expose such an important gear to rocks and debris when it looks like the cover can be taken off with a few bolts.

thanks man! they aren't 100% yet. gots to take them off after the show this week and wetsand and reclear. there are still some bumpy places on them
thanks! yeah i just cut the hole for show purposes. i have many friends that run open cam covers, or no covers at all on their cars. my engine bay stays pretty clean. you'll see when i am done. once we put on the cam gear it'll add lots of contrast. again, just for show purposes.
. i've seen cars with no cam gear covers but those really scare me...but yeah, the carbonfiber interior pieces did turn out great. and is it just the pictures or is the center piece blended over w/ black wood trim?

Tony, think the stuff looks great! I know from all your pics that this took a lot of work!
I do have a suggestions and a question for you.
Suggestion: I think you should have an 'all or nothing' approach with this finish... it may be what you have planned for the long run, but I wouldn't mix and match the blackwood with the CF. Too many textures going on.
Question: Is the finish on the overlay material rough and uneven textured? Looks that way in a couple of the pics with the way the light plays off of it. If so, I wonder if there is any way to make it flat and smooth.

they will be SMOOTH lol
the shift boot doesn't look like it fits very well...do you know anybody that does sewing? The carbon is definately bumpy as well. The "fade in" wouldve looked better just as a whole piece of carbon. That's why Lexus has the whole piece wood, not half and half. Just my opinion.
Ever thought of doing the front double din dash kit in carbon? That would finish your look off pretty sweet.

Wow carbon, you are really kickin' it! Love the new trunk set up you have, it's very unique 
If I may suggest, try wrapping CF on the reflector bowl in your head lights. It'll probably give it a little touch
