Carbon Fiber dash like a BMW? (pictures of M3 carbon fiber interior included) - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Overload IMHO, but it could look great in real life.

@doggy, any issues with sun glare? That's my only concern with putting such glossy parts inside the car....

Nope, not at all

A little distraction sometimes - cuz it acts like mirror and you sometimes see all the reflections on it - but just first few days

Now its all good

would like to see how the steering wheel/shifter trim piece look when done in the DiNoc matte/dry carbon.

Haven't seen one yet

Would be great if this trim could be made with a narrower head unit hole that fits standard aftermarket double din units better.

So here you go guy's, tell me what you think.

Not what I was expecting. Not that it's bad, but it seems cheap in some spots. Like in some areas I would love to have it, but then in other areas it doesn't cover the entire section so it looks out of place.

For example, the dash piece looks bad with the plastic seen behind it, the door panel sections look sort of random, the knee area looks stuck on and out of place. The steering wheel again, with the plastic behind is looks unfinished.

Then some areas are very nice and cover everything fully, which I like. (Around the knobs, the window controls, the cluster.

But for under $300 it's not bad. I would happily pay an extra $200 if they fixed the pieces I talked about and at least fully covered the panels.

Also, it looks like some pieces are missing, or you didn't install them yet? Like the round air vents and door handle?

Wow, well done. Best looking self-done interior I have seen on one of our cars.
