Yeah I've been looking at it now with the carbon fiber in the car and it seems out of place so I'm looking for a different color to wrap it

Not feeling it, kinda reminds me of the interior of the Chevy Volt lol
I think black or silver CF would do good

The look is hot just clahses like everyone says. I would go with something like white CF only because I have all black interior except for my headliner which is a cream/gray but everything else is black. You wrap it yourself?

Yeah I'm going to take it off since this CF doesn't have a coat of gloss over it. I'm planning to re-wrap it with the CF that has a shine and a layer of gloss over it. I'm thinking gray but I'm not sure if gray will work on the interior of my car either so I might go with the black CF, but thanks guys for your opinions.

Black will definitely be the best route

I have the same color interior as you and wrapped mine in the brushed black vinyl from 3m. You can see pictures in the "show your interior" thread near the end of the thread. I really like the way it turned out.

Very bright! Too much contrast going on. Probably look better if it was the shade of grey in your interior.
