I have that piece and the wire loom set. Both parts are real nice with the exception of some very small air bubbles in the creases. You can catch them on sale quite often over at DG so call before you order.

Here ya go. this is the CF one painted red w/ flames. It was much easier then smoothing the OEM one.

Actually if your gonna paint it, then it is about the same if not cheaper then paying a bodyshop the labor to smooth an OEM. Prep time adds up quickly at bodyshops.

If I spruce up my interior, I think I'm going to do it with CF bits instead of billet, bling, or whatever...
