Default Official Interior Overlay Thread

I always have such a hard time searching through the forums for pics of cf overlays for the interior so i thought i would try to start a official thread where everyone would donate some pics of theres?

Well ill start it off with the IS-F cf trims even though it isnt a overlay o.O

I would also be interested in seeing any other options photoshopped, such as piano black trim, color matched trim, or even blackwood...

I agree what the previous poster said about the IS-F using the same shift **** as the regular IS line. Couldn't they have come up with something a bit beefier? I eventually replaced it with a MOMO Combat Evo with mesh insert. A bit bigger than stock, and it goes well with the CF.

I'll contribute my pics of the high quality Carson CF kit (black), which they no longer stock. I've seen some on eBay which look like the same kit. Get 'em while you can.

has anyone removed the various pieces and had them painted body color or something else.? I did this on my 06 Grand Cherokee and they turned out nice. I think the Matador red would look good with ,my wifes black interior.

No, I had silver underlay, so no problems with wood showing through. If I did have wood I would have used some black vinyl tape on the edges to hide the wood. After the fact, try a new black Sharpie and see if you can hide the wood showing through.
