Looks alright. Not my thing - especially probably for what it cost.
i would love to have a Manual as my last car was, i do miss it a bit and only drive with the paddles and auto stick. the car was a CPO and had every option i wanted besides Manual and extended leather, still the price was well worth it so i bought her and LOVE her (her name is SharkBait btw..)

i agree 100% that Carbon Fiber has to be a thing your into enough to pay the price and wait the time to get done. like the example i gave earlier with the Alligator shoe, if its your thing and your willing to pay the price for Alligator then you do..some people love them and some cant stand them.

the lower center piece was the worst for me, enough for me to go to the dealer and have Jeff do it. i have no patience when working on cars though and i am surprised i even got the two top dash pieces done without messing them up.

i pondered the thought before i went full steam in the ordering process, but in life i don't think you need matte that much. like i said in life your eye will clearly see threw the gloss and spot the thread pattern, just my pics don't show this. actually these are the worst pics i have taken of it as far as reflections go.
