I was thinking of buying a carbon fiber kit to redo the interior of my G35. Has anybody done this and have any suggestions?

 

just my opinion, but please dont man. I cant imagine that looking good at all.

 

I second the "don't do it" opinion.

 

I say don't do it - especially is you have an '05. I love the brushed aluminum look.

 

Theres a silver G on Cardomain with a very nice CF interior kit. He told me he got it at wooddashkits.com or something like that...

I havent seen it in person, but the pics look great! And the guy obv has good taste in cars/parts/etc.....hes got sick Mayas with huge lips out back, a killer custom system, and turbo i think...and next i think hes doing a V8 conversion....

So i say - why not....it will be different thats for sure...post pics if u do.

 

I wouldnt do it, but thats just cause I like the brushed aluminum (or fake brushed aluminum in my case) but I dont think it would look bad. I say give it a shot. Painted to match the body color would look great too- there is currently a post about it on my350z I believe.

EDIT: changed my mind, looks like *** pics here

 

I saw one at the dealership, and i liked it

 

Those pictures look horrible.
But, it's your ride.

 

it's faux carbon fiber right? If so, another vote for no. If it's the real deal, go for it.

 

Don't do it. It'll look like exactly what it is...fake cf covering your dash.

 

Ditto^.

This isn't that different from the 80's when dash mats were in fashion (I know, hard to believe ). The concept of using glue or velcro to stick carpet on your dash to protect it so it didn't crack and look bad... ...it didn't make sense then and it still doesn't. Now, using one to cover a hideous, F'd up dash is acceptable. But I doubt your G's dash is F'd up right now... ...so why ruin it? Will the CF overlays (even if genuine CF) look good in 2-3 years, let alone 5-10? Judging from some previous posts, many consider them a bad move before they're even removed from the package. I suggest thinking long and hard about this one.

 

I wanted to get the CF mod for my central console.. mine is 04, and I am so sicken tired of the FAKE silver plastic.. And it rattles like crazy as well >__<

I think it makes the car more sport-oriented. Just my 2 cents.

 

i think lou bachrodt chevrolet in coral springs had a red G on the lot with a CF interior, it looked pretty good IMO.

 

don't do it, the dash kit is just stickers that you apply over your existing dash....

I agree. You shouldn't do it. It definitely look like a cheap add-on...
However, if a vendor would come-out with a true carbon-fibre central console and door handle replacement part for the 03/04 G35C, that would be a different story!!
