thinking about wrapping some interior pieces in carbon fiber. Any ideas on what would look good wrapped? i already got the cup holder and where the shifter is covered in CF wrapped. I was thinking the door panels and maybe th hole center of the dash inkling radio. I don't want to looked riced out either.

Were it me, I'd follow what the coupe has from factory. Its subtle and not overdone. Don't include the radio. That'll overdo it. Reason? The part where the radio and center vents meet. You'll have the CF stop abruptly and then want to do the center vents. That's when it'll get too far. My .02. Obviously, its your car and you're going to do what you want. No one can stop that.

Agreed. Leave out the radio area. Door trims and cubby area and done.

I was thinking maybe where the license plate sits on the trunk ? The square area.

Carbon fiber.... or gloss black in that area (hate the new color of ny plates). I would also do a gloss black for the emblems. Nice ride BTW. Create a profile!

I have an SE so it comes with CF trim on the shifter surround, cubby lid, and door pull areas. You should/could just buy SE pieces?

I wouldn't worry about that Jerry, the oem does not match the carbon fiber vinyl so it may look weird. Just use the wrap that you have and wrap the same areas as the oem.
