CF Interior
rba, real brush aluminum?. so many pieces, looks like the one from wood dash experts. the edges looks kinda rough, i hope it fits well for u, im dying to see how it looks. i'll get my pics of my car-gym ones up today, i get my car back from the shop later today.

no not yet! they are really difficult to install 
j/k sorry guys, i'll probably wont be installing them anytime soon, I dont want to take out my display unit after installing them, they are too bendy and look a lil fragile. At the moment, i am missing the iPod interface (which i really want for canceling noise + using analogue signals) and the Navigation hack w/o the switch method... still waiting on feedback from few companies... I am also considering doing it on my own (here)... etc.
as you can see this will take ages... sorry for the tease but we’ll all be waiting

well i just got my car-gym kit in last night. i'll try n go down n take some pics of it in the day light. but overall i cant say i'd recommend car-gym to people. their customer service isnt "great", it took them over 9 days to ship my order out. and they're emails to me werent very helpful. i emailed them several times after a couple of days asking when i can expect my shipment to be sent out, and they basically just told me it'll be shipped when its shipped. also they dont seem to coordinate their emails, like 2 people would reply to me one email, 2 days apart. it was kinda stupid. but that aside the kit it self is just ok. the weave is pretty nice and such, but the fit would be like a B+ A- in grade. theres a couple of parts around the shifter that could have been better, but its acceptable in quality i guess.
WoW!!!
That's something I would get!!! I was looking at the overlays, but I don't want something just sitting on top another. Now.......something like this I LIKE!!!

I just emailed VIP autosalon and they quote me a price of $1000 for the CF. Not as expensive as i thought. They're gonna hit the market soon through dealers though, but they say it will cost more. However, no shipping till next month or so because they have not yet received the stocks. 
hey guys, I just installed my carbon fiber kit that I bought from car-gym.
very nice product and installed relatively easy. Only Issue I have is the cup holder doesn't close all the way, 100%, more like 98%. Also when tapping the lid down to open the cup holder, it gets stuck, like you have to tap it then pull to open it. I don't see any part of the kit rubbing onto each other. Anyone else experience this? I would give this kit an A- Thanks.
