What does "overlay trim" mean? Does that mean it's on top of the existing trim and not all the way down? Looks good, btw.

Yes, it is overtop of the aluminum trim. It uses 3m adhesive. You could take it off, but i dont know why you would want too

Do you mind posting more close up pictures of the CF trim? Especially the edge where two trims meet.
Thanks.

I know there's a picture in that website, however since the overlay CF pieces have some thickness, i'd like to see how the edges are around the buttons and where two pieces meet, as well as where alu. trim and the overlay meet (i.e. are you able to see the aluminum trim when the cover of the ash tray is opened.

sorry guys im out of town right now and cannot get any pictures right now, The one i posted was the only one i took. RWC55 posted where you can buy it. My aluminum became very dinged and scratched so i went that route. Anyways, does everyone think this is a fair price with all the extras included?

Nice ride. A Mars Red C55 is a rare find. Goodluck with the sale. The carbon fiber trim looks good from the pictures. I'd like to see close up photos too

Good luck with your sale! Not going to sell mine yet. With 30k miles I still have a year or two of modding fun left. They Cayman S is still very tempting. Not sure if I will opt for that, the C63, a w211 E55 or a 911 when the time comes.
