I like it! Nice sporty look combined with the luxury of leather. What does the exterior of your car look like? You should wrap the other interior pieces in CF too. I think that would look sick. This is definitely something I would like to do for my car since I am going for that "sportier" look now.

well i never posted pics as javier ****ed me over and kept my headlights and disappeared from the boards. he stopped answering texts,emails,im,etc etc. even dave couldnt get this resolved for me although he tried but this is what he WAS working on for me

keep in mind these were far from finished and now they are gone







i guess i will have to get another set of headlights and start over

i was trying to have the first headlights with q45 or ls430 and REAL CF inners

That dude ran off with your headlights? That is jacked up! Maybe he messed up on it and didn't feel like reimbursing you the funds for the headlights?

yeah that POS took off with them. i dunno i guess thats possible too but i doubt it as he works for his parents making prosthetic limbs and is used to handling fiberglass and stuff like that

Maybe he finished it and liked it a bit too much and decided to use it on his own car?
