the hazyness is the same
With that aside your carbon fibre does actually look pretty good ----it goes with the black theme of your car and it looks like you did the job properly.
but my opinion is still the same -----my preference is woodgrain thats all
not putting down anyone else or their choices
thanks for sharing the pics

skirts im not sure if there is a diy here for refninishing, there might be.
But it is no different than refinishing a table top so try youtube or go talk to someone that has refinished a piece of furniture.
all u will need is furniture stripper 10 bucks, laquer thinner -10 bucks---sandpaper 5 bucks---and than your choice of stain and a clear coat.
obviously u need to take the pieces off
than strip them with the stripper
clean them with the laquer thinner
sand them with the proper grit ----probably 220 or so
than stain and clear coat
good luck

I don't know who has done it, but I want my center console and vent/door trim pieces to be paint matched to my car color (lexus stock paint code: I believe 1A0 but the paint chart says that my '95 doesnt have that color..), is there any place that I can have this done?

Give them your color code and go one step further give them the gas cap cover so they can make sure it is close match before they give it back to you.
Ive had one or two matches that were less than accdeptable even though they had my paint code.

yes well where i am almost any body shop or automotive paint supply shop can have your paint matched very closely to your car color.
Give them your color code and go one step further give them the gas cap cover so they can make sure it is close match before they give it back to you.

My front and rear bumpers seem to have suffered this cruel fate of mismatched paint.
