Default Carbon Fiber interior

Did a search on this subject but did not find anything. I'm planning to order a GS in the spring for Museum delivery. I like the CF dash option, but want to get the console in CF as well, and I want all the pieces to match. Who is a good aftermarket vendor? I looked at the APSIS website and they look good, but wondering if anyone has experience with them or anyone else. Also looking for somewhere to have the work done, since I am very paranoid about tearing into the dash and possibly not getting it back together correctly or introducing squeaks and rattles.

Thanks

APSIS makes good stuff, but they price it like gold.

Check with Greg @ AutoDynamicsWest.com. He provided my CF Center console. He is a good guy to deal with and his prices are a bit lower. I am not sure if Greg is near you but I assume he installs what he sells.

All my carbon is from APSIS. Best quality I have seen, but you pay for it!

Pat at American hydrocarbon does a really good job with dipped pieces too, plus it's a little cheaper.

I like my GM stock carbon fiber interior curious why GM doesn't offer the console in carbon fiber?

This would really solve my issue, because I prefer the low gloss or matte finish on the FAY dash, and then it would all match.

Thanks. I checked their website and it looks like they can match the OEM FAY dash for the console, which would simplify the process, and their prices look very reasonable.

My guess is that the full carbon fiber console/dash will be an option from GM in the next year or two. That's what happened in 2008 with the C6.

Guys, don't fool yourself-everyone prices their Carbon Fiber expensively. My entire interior is from Apsis USA too. It all looks great.

Why not just wrap it with 3M 1080 CF wrap? I would think the interior parts (once removed) would be easy to wrap.

Pat, for me is the best, parts are all factor parts then he does his stuff to them. I got my full C.F. interior from him he will stand behind his stuff and will not get any better looking parts. Robert
