Question Interior Design advice

How do you guys feel on all carbon fiber, everywhere....
With Yellow accents. Carbon fiber series gauges. A/F and boost on a pillar. Dark Grey sparko seats with yellow accents. Rear section lined in carbon fiber with recessed 12" autotek subwoofer. That little back cubby section Carbon Fiber w/ Logos from my fav. Performance auto parts companies. black 93' touring. 18" Z5R rims and 40 series BF goodrich tires...? this is my thought for now. Just seeing what others think

I'm not sure why his mods matter when thinking about doing some interior work..

Anyway, I personally have never been a big fan of carbon fiber on the interior. IMO, I don't think it would look good, but like I said, I don't like the cabon fiber look.

But hell, it's your car. Do what you want. Don't follow what everyone else does and don't worry if no one else likes it...

Probably because he will be labeled a "ricer" if he is pouring money into something that wont make his car faster - right JONSKI?

I think CF in the interior is nice, but too much of anything can be a bad thing...and I dont like the idea of yellow accents. Just me tho, do what u want

Paint it

Here's mine. It turned out pretty good. Don't do it if it's your daily driver.

I would stay away from yellow and be careful how much CF you use. Also, depending on the width of your tires 40 series may be too tall on an 18" rim.

Carbon fiber isn't bad...but too much of it will look tacky/gaudy.

I prefer a minimal look. Carbon fiber only looks good for tiny trim pieces, like shift *****/ebrake handles IMO
