Hello CF members, I actually did the the DD mod last winter, but just had the bezel redone in C6 carbon fiber pattern done by flasunshine1. The DD bezel was done by C5bearsfan. Thanks again to those excellent vendors!

Very nice! Is that the "Monoco Check" pattern that Pat calls it? I know it's patterned after the GM 08 pattern. Looks great! Finally a picture of it!

Also, where did you get the red trim that goes around the bezel? Any shots of the full interior?

where did you come by the trim strips you have around your bezel and TC panel? I need something similar due to some gaps I want to hide. I haven't really looked but it seems like something you could find at craft stores.

Not sure what Eckler's charges for the trim but midamerica sells it too:

I've been thinking about getting some but I don't know what the difference is between the black and the ebony.

nice. how do you attach it? does it have self-adhesive or something do you use hot glue or something to hold it in place?

I just wedged in place around the bezel. One of the reasons for getting it besides being different WAS to fill the famous gap that happens after time on the pass side. I guess you could glue it also but not neccessary. The trim around the traction control was pre-cut and I think I got from Mid-America when I got the new shift boot.
