    I really don't like woodgrain at all, i just think it makes the car seem more mature and just ehh its not to my liking

    CF sucks in the interior - Brushed aluminum is where it's at!

    brushed aluminum is nice but the shitty thing about it is on a cold day frost will build up on it... and its HELLA cold... haha

    See the thing is my interior is so black, with the limited pictures i could find, with brushed aluminum it looks really flashy
    here is a pic


    But then with carbon fiber it just kinda blends in and there is no effect at all


    Maybe i should add to the poll No dash kit at all

    The Carbon fibre is lighter, and it looks pretty nice. But its kinda, been done before.
    Now, you dont see brushed aluminum everyday, and it looks pretty nice, but its a little flashy (nothing bad tho) but it would also get hella cold...like, frostbite in 3 seconds if u touched it...which would kinda suck

    Its ahard choice man...
    I'd say Carbon, because i really like it...but i also wanna say brushed alum

    what diffrence would it make if its lighter? its just a thin layer you stick over top of the existing dash don't you?

    Brushed Aluminum is the way to go!!
