Does anyone make a good carbon fiber interior kit for a C5? I don't mean the cheap stick on trim. Actual CF center console, door panels, etc. I've seen some for the C6s but seem to have no luck with locating anything for the C5.

That's what I'm looking for. I just missed them the first time around on his site because they were in an odd place and not on the side menu.

Just looking for something that has a little better finish than the OEM stuff. The coating on the side of my center console is starting to peel and this is common from what I hear so I don't want to just replace it with another OEM unit that will start to peel in a few years again. If this is as good of quality as the rest of Vette Essentials' interior packages it will probably do. If I could find an actual CF kit I'd consider it but that seems to be a very difficult thing to find.

Iceburgh, do you have any pics of your interior?
