That's just not true. The super high quality overlays sold by Carson a couple of years ago (about $370) have perfect fit and are indistinguishable from OEM. Two years later they still look perfect in my car. As usual, you get what you pay for.

That looks fantastic.

I really like the wood trim myself, especially the silver looking one. But to each his own

 

Did you use just tape to fasten the trim or did you use something else?

Thanks!

 

Where do I get these? Any link for Carson? Will these fit on 09?

 

I agree about that overlay. Looks great.

the internet store for carson is http://www.l-tunedparts.com/index.php and should fit

 

It's discontinued, and the left console on the 09 is different than the previous models, don't think it will fit.

 

I have the overlay as well, I think the "real" replacement ones are too expensive, the overlay will leave you more cash to get other mods like the door sills, even an exhaust...
If you have wood then you will have to wrap the wood with black vinly so you wont be able to see the wood around the edges of the overlay. Im sure the real replacement is better and higher quality but whatever... here are some pics of mine

 

+1 juice14, looks great and you saved some cash, thanks for sharing the pics !

 

I really like the CF with the black interior. I have cashmire, so, for me, I prefer the look for the dark wood. Typically, I dont like wood bc it is overwhelming in some cars, eg 335, but in the IS, I dont think it is too much. But, that is just my opinion.

 

how would you go about painting the wood? I have the brown wood and would love to try to make it black. Has anyone here tried this? Pics? I just wrapped mine in the Neffy wrap and I love the door handles but the center console just isnt up to par for me, I could probably get it better but I still think its a half assed job.

 

If you don't want carbon fiber wrap/cloth or overlays then you have to go custom.

Here's mine from Think Design, but if your cheap then you can forget about this.

 

Kikaida - your interior looks fantastic.
