(Pic is courtesy of mckennas4 I've always loved cars with an alum/CF interior combo, and I'm thinking about doing it. However, I don't know how it will look in a car with a Melange interior. I can obviously pick up an extra wood piece to test with, but I'd still appreciate your opinions

Default Hawt : )

I'd be doing all of the center console parts in CF (ashtray, hazard trim, shifter trim, etc.,) but I'd do aluminum door/dash trim. Whaddya think Jimmy?

Default imho our interiors are a bit more updated than the B5

it'll look nicer than the b5 regardless...

but yeah i like the blend, as long as the wood grain disappears i thumbs up the task

Default just so you know, most the stick on stuff looks cheesy IMO.

the aluminum may not be too bad, but all the CF stuff I've seen looks OK in pictures, but when you see it in real life you can tell it's fake.

Default The center console trim would be OEM CF. And the wood trim would obviously

be painted by me.

Default It is a similar colour to the trim round the interior door open lever but a lighter shade with a....

fine cross-hatch pattern. I will try to take a close photo and post it.
