@Readytoxplod: I bought some dash panels at the local dealer and had them wrapped by Carbon Fiber Element in NJ.
@BioRage: Thanks for your input - that's the way I decided to go

I would have to go with Option A. Simply because there is already alot of leather in the car already. If you have any plans on wrapping your dash later then I think it would be over kill. Yes it may look ricer to some, But I think it would go nicely with the Carbon fibre already on the steering wheel. Also if you balance the carbon fibre and leather, it will look like it was meant to be that way all along. Can't wait to see pics of what you end up going with.

Love this thing!!!

I would go option A and I'm not big on CF. but there is already so much leather an red stitching. Small bits of carbon here and there looks great. Dash and steering wheel carbon pieces would compliment a full black leather/red stitching interior well.

Anything can be overdone. Both carbon and leather
