I don't like it either. I think you would pretty much have to have a black interior for it work.

It looks okay, but I find the interior-band in the E46-Model more better, it named Aluminium silver Cube and has the same
structure like this new in this thread, but only bright.

I think beige was a questionable choice to show it with, but it would look nice with black or gray... even terra or lemon. I'm all for more choices!

I agreed along the same line. I also wonder if there is also a lighter carbon fiber than the one in Fleet photo.

I want the cf trim! I was just about to order it from some after market company, but I'll wait for OEM instead. Fleet, do you know if a cf shifter will be made available too?

wow that's ugly. CF is so pretentious...and this isn't even real CF. CF belongs on the body panels of an Enzo...not as trim in a 3.

It..... is real carbon fiber....
Why does it only belong in an Enzo's body panels? A lot of cars have had it used as trim, even the McLaren F1 had some trim items in carbon fiber instead of plastic; I doubt a little tiny piece of trim in the interior is going to save any weight having been made in carbon fiber. Not only is carbon fiber good for saving weight(It's reason for having been used as the body panels of an enzo), but carbon fiber is also very good looking(It's reason for being unpainted/used as trim in cars).

Is the trim easy to replace? Don't need to take down the whole dashboard right? I'm just afraid fiddling around with the trim will create new rattles.

You sure 'bout that that?

If the price for these new CF pieces is the same as is the current price for true OEM replacement parts you will be looking at some serious jack.

Center Console [w/ash tray cover] $504
Dashboard [w/AC vents] 2-pieces $360
Door Trim [4 doors] $580

Total $1444 + installation
