Thanks. I intended to use the rice paddle to pull out the trim. The tool has a metal head and I was worried to scratch the trim or the plastic cover of the cup holder. But than the rice paddle though thin and strong it was too large to get in between... I usually use that rice paddle when I am taking out the radio head unit....

I pretty much never comment on somebody's mods, because they generally make the car look worse, but this one makes me positively jealous. I'm actually glad I don't have red interior, because otherwise I'd have to seriously consider this mode.

Nice job. I love the CF Wrap. I like the whole console cover in the CF and AC controls. I installed Real CF in my former ride, an Acura TL-Type S and loved it. For my Z, I wrapped my air cleaner in the engine compartment, door pockets, door handle pockets and rear valance cover. My interior is the Ash Grain and I found a dash kit with the OEM match and installed it.

Here are some photos of my Real Carbon Fiber projects and CF Wrap
Exterior CF Wrap :
1. Engine Compartment- Air Cleaner with my De Badged 35i logos installed
2. Air Intake- Looks good. Very difficult job. Not perfect but makes a nice look under the hood
3. Head Lamp Cap covers
4. Rear Hard Top Cover- My Favorite
5. Hood, Sides, Trunk and Wheel Center Cap Roundels
6. Real Carbon Fiber D and P Door sills
7. Lower Front Air Intake Grills

Interior
1. Driver and Passenger foot kick plates
2. D and P Dash sides
3. D and P Door pockets
4. D Door Handle insert

Next Project- Hard Top Wrap.

BMWZ4RIDER... Er, that's going a bit too far for my tastes. The OPs project is tasteful. This last post shows what happens when you just go too far. Not for me. Sorry.

Good question BuckarooVT90... I am still debating if I want to keep them in Brush Aluminum or CF wrap them. I am so far tending towards keeping them in Al, they sort to go nice with the rest of the Al (steering wheel, shifter, etc...)

Its all good. I don't happen to to like all the black plastic in the Z, so this a was a good choice for me.
The beauty of this is that all of the CF wrap mods are reversible to change design.

OMG...The wood trim and the CF go together like rihanna and chris brown. Overboard is an understatement for all the CF you have done.

Just so you aren't getting hammered with the negative comments, I like the deck lid and the sill plates. We're they hard to do?
