I was just going to say the same... But I still like the alumium trim.

I considered C/F until I saw that. I agree with the others, the stereo trim is what makes it nasty.

If it was on a black interior, it would look somewhat decent, and the radio trim is just overboard... Hence, on this car: YUCK!

BLACK (or any dark) interior would DEFINITELY justify getting this trim. I would do it in my car though.

That looks 100% better than some of the trim designs that come stock in our cars. At least the radio trim make the contre concole trim look uniform, the stock trim is fugly with the aluminum pattern and a big black ugly radio in the centre (since when did MB hire GM radio designers?).

On black trim that would look awesome. The same company makes the CF in many colours including grey and silver.

Did anyone notice the CF trim around the gauge cluster? I like it.

Carbon fiber this...carbon fiber that! Carbon fiber has just been played out!!!!!!!!!! Soon, people will be eating out of carbon fiber plates and walking around in carbon fiber clothes (minus the resin!)

Oh man! And people thought wool was itchy!!! That will itch for days after you take the clothes off... I would much rather have carbon fiber clothes with cured resin than with out!

it probably would have looked better in CARBON SILVER (0S), instead of CARBON BLACK (01). Performance Products sells this kit too, and includes a matching steering wheel. The parts are actually made by MP Design of Germany.

This is stick on stuff, isn't it? I hate how thick and overbloated it makes the fascia look. I agree with the others that the radio piece is the killer. The overall look of the CF is quite nice however.

Yes, automatics are always ugly!

I like the trim, actually. But do agree that it would look better on a darker interior.
