leather

[4-G-rim]

There would have to be a bit more pieces of the interior in C/F. Having the center dash panel in C/F only would look off. I would wrap the center door in C/F.

I didn't know you had manual windows on your 7g Kolio.

^^ agreed

If you want to do the armrest in CF, there needs to be more CF to match it

[mko]

chris, that cf center console is HOT!!!!


I want one too

yeah i get wierd looks with the windows. everybody looks at me when i lean over and start cranking. i had the most base model 7G-b ever made


right now the things i'm doing in cf are the radio, shifter, and coin holder.


i got to decide if i want to keep the manual windows so i can fiberglass some custome door panels

Yea I always thought you're car would be automatic droolage if you
had a CF hood. The paint, the world specs, the wheels, madd droolz y0.

Go with CF, it'll match the center console :)

[E_Emerson88]

personally i dont like C/F inside cars, i'd go with leather. but like others said if your gonna go with C/F then go all out an make other stuff C/F

[ricky_db]

leather so soft

[Blue Ice]

i say wrap the shifter boot casing in cf, and the trim for the vents above the center console.Then, match the leather for the shifter boot and the leather on the armrest to leather inserts in the doors. BTW your interior does look really plain, you might look into getting the es door panels.

go leather.

ever looked at the grease your face leaves on the screen of your phone?

imagine that all over your arm rest from your greasy arms and elbows.

if you do go carbon fiber..... get a carbon fiber wrapped easy-wipes dispensor to match it so you can keep the yuck off of everything.

leather FTW.

It really isn't hard to convert to power windows. you should be pre wired for it.
having the premium door skins is pretty nice... compared to the de/ s skins

Couldnt you just wrap it in carbon fiber cloth and not use the resin. I am not sure how itchy the carbon fiber cloth would be or if the strands would seperate but that solves the problem of the grease. You are not going to get the really shiney finish like the center console but I kind of like the look of the raw carbon fiber sheets.

carbon fiber is an irratent like fiber glass. i think i'm gonna do it leather

It would fall apart rather easily, thats the purpose of the resin and hardener, so it won't.

hey was it hard wrapping the console cover and putting the resin on? i was thinking of doing this also and i wanna kno what i am getting into before i do this...

[kolio]

it is tricky and you need equipment.

it gets very tedious and your timing has to be perfect
