Lightbulb Opinions wanted!

Im getting a few new things wrapped in that "carbon fiber" that my dash kit is wrapped in. (TampaSVT style set) I have had the dash/doors done for awhile but now wanted to do a few other pieces. I want to do the overhead console and the dome light in it, Im probably doing those either way.
Now the question is, do you guys thing the air conditioner knobes would look good in the same stuff? Im going to send out my part this next week to get done and need to decide if I should send the ***** as well. I was also considering the fuse panel cover. What do you guys think?

I looked at your interior pics in you gallery and I wouldn't touch a thing. My opinion (since you asked) is that you have the right pieces done and the right pieces not done. If you do anymore it will be too much.

Now if you have money just burning your pockets to get out, you may consider this. Having your Steering wheel wrapped in that Carbon Fiber look Leather. I have my MotorCycle seat done in that stuff and it accents my Carbon Fiber accesories beautifully. JMO.

yeah actually the lady who does the carbon stuff wants me to get the steering wheel. The only thing I dont like about it is the carbon weave doesnt match what I already have. I dont think having the ceiling stuff done is too much, mostly because you dont see it unless you look up. I pretty much want it just for shows that I go to locally. I just wanted to do something with the air *****...but I hate the loks of all the billit ones or Id get those to match all the other metal stuff. Im at a loss of what do do with them

Thumbs up

I have the same carbon fiber kit from Rich, and he did my dome light as well. I am planning on doing the overhead console as well as part of the center console. I don't think in my opinion that that will be over done and I think it will look pretty good.

As far as the ***** go if you don't like the billet ones than I think getting them done in carbon fiber will look pretty good.

When you ask for opinions on appearance mods be ready for everything.
The best thing to do is if YOU like it and its your truck and your money then go for it.


You know what they say about critics-"Artists that could not make it themselves."

Its actually a lady named Robyn at phoenix imaging that does the kits. Rich was a medium sorta for getting the kits out to L owners. She has treated me real good as is fixing a chip I put into one of the pieces. I just told her I knew Rich and was part of the "Tampa L Guys" sorta speak. They do some other textures as well...I guess I could get the ***** in that metalic looking gray to match my MGW pieces

Cool link, they do good work. Do you know what the over head console runs and do you have to send her yours or is it an exchange after kind of deal?
Thanks...
Bill

I am hoping very soon, should know more sometime next week. I am planning on going down to Jersey next weekend and keeping my fingers crossed that I will be bringing something back with me on a trailer ready for some break in miles.

The console is about 160 I think. You have to send your pieces to them first. Takes about 2-3 weeks then you get them back wrapped in what ever you asked for.
