I'm thinking the interior must look better in person because I am not liking that red CF interior at all, nor all the CF trim around the stereo.
The grill looks nice but.. I think the Chrome accents the car better. And its missing the L! = /
However it does make your IS unique!

Sorry....this is not a stock IS, so most of the parts are not original.

Hmmm... the red CF trim on the inside doesn't seem as bright as I was hoping. I thought it might just be because of the lighting in the first pics, but even in the later pics it seems that way. It almost seems like it's a very similar shade to the OEM maple trim.
Is it just the pictures? Or is it really a pretty brownish red, rather than a bright red?

Not sure what you were expecting, but we used the factory MR mid-coat that's on the car and dusted the black CF, then cleared it. The goal was to have the color very close to the exterior yet allow the CF to still be seen. If you want it bright, my suggestion would be to just paint your factory pieces body color.

Mr Mark ...... The MOMO Combat shift **** with the perforated aluminum is very cool. Does that screw right on without any mods required? I'm thinking of adding one to my IS.
I like the red CF trim and what you have done with the car overall. Unique.
