"Dull finish" or dry CF actually is higher quality and more expensive than the shiny or "wet" stuff, although it doesn't look as slick.

Thanks, that interior looks really nice and the 360 Ext/Int got me up close and personal.
Question to anyone. What are those two bumps for up high, in the corner of the Driver's side A pillar?

I'm certainly not willing to put money on this, but I
THINK it might be the microphone for hands free telephone and voice command activation.

Sadly the camera angle is to blame. The headrests block them out.

A back up camera isn't going to help you with fast lane changes on the highway. I don't think rear visibility has been this bad since the 1963 split window. I think I'll get the convertible and keep the top down, lol.
Love the dash though, especially the two-toned color treatment. Also, they finally put some padding on the center and side armrests.

I'm sure the aftermarket will give plenty of CF replacement options. Hearing some of the opinions expressed there will probably even be a market for burlwood
I am happy to see a hands free mic up behind the rearview. Hopefully there are some temp sensors hidden up there for the auto climate control too.
The temp sensors are normally around the knee height area. A little below radio level. Wouldn't want one where it would be in the sun.
