Default CF Re-done~~

I was tired of my overlays and wanted something with the feel of a OEM Direct replacement and have been searching for companies willing to take it on and not break my bank. Well I have yet to find one lol. So I just did it myself. I am going to get them all cleared sometime before summer but I need rims and asap because HIN is coming up soon and I want to enter my car.

Middle is a pita. Cupholder and shifter piece were hard as the chrome trim in the center of the shifter had to be cut to precision and the cupholder I could not figure out how to remove the wood piece on top.

If a DIY is in demand, I will find something else to wrap and post one. As far as painting the clear go's, I want it done professionally lol.
