I think its mostly because of the typical washout in down-res photos. In person its a clear "t" / firebird (the bird not the car) pattern. Doesn't look weaved at all. Honestly though, unless you focus on it, all it really looks like in person is texture.

I don't think it looks that bad and will probably just leave mine as is. If I do decide it needs a change however I'll probably cover it in leather or Alcantara to match the seats. Maybe even try and emboss a BRZ logo or something.

Gotcha. Hope people don't do this. Kind of destroys the flow of the car in my eyes.
