Default Subtle Small carbon mods

Couple more small subtle carbon fiber mods
got some seat track covers in carbon fiber from a forum member. Small and 99% of people would probably never even notice them.
Also got the carbon/ leather brake handle and button a while ago from RFE Design
Just the little things make a difference to the interior look I think.
I made the carbon fiber alternator cover and fuse box cover too
Yes I need to vacuum

Looks good I plan to cover all the interior plastic in alcantara. Once I get around to getting my dash fixed & put back together.

Maybe 99% wouldn't notice, but its those small subtle details that make people walk away saying to themselves, "why does that interior looks so much nicer than mine?'
That car is a stunner.

Nicely done & exactly the direction I want to take with my GS. Your subject line "subtle" describes your interior look to a "T" as it enhances rather than distracts. If you do not mind, can you share where you found your pieces and are they real CF or are any Hydro? Right now, I am looking for the door items, A/C & defroster vent covers.

Great work.

Thanks, I got them as a whole kit a long time ago. They are real carbon. There is a vendor that sells the pieces individually on EBay that I saw for the interior. They have held up really well too. .
