New Carbon Fiber Trim Interior Overlays Installed

[Deleted member 5352]

I know this isn't for everyone but I'm very happy with how this turned out. I went ahead and installed some carbon fiber trim overlays for the center console and steering wheel. To me, it gives the interior a sportier edge and makes it seem more upscale. This is all I'm gonna do since I could also do the window switches and HVAC controls but I don't want to go overboard. What do you think? Cool look or too tacky?

I like it, I already have those on my shopping list for when my truck arrives....

I did the interior (steering wheel, console, window switches, radio, upper a/c vents and climate control unit) as well as the exterior (mirror caps, door and tailgate handles, door handle cups, and rear Ford logo frame). I bought the pieces individually from eBay and Amazon as they became available.

If they made these in chrome, I would get them in a heartbeat.

Everyone is going to have a different take and or taste on it. It all comes down to what YOU like.

I like it, not too much.

I also have the Lariat Lux (1st Edition) and choose the same carbon fiber kit. It looks much better in person as a whole then it does in a picture showing an item here and there. I agree in our trim it gives it a plus look and it feels better (smooth) / easier to keep clean or looking clean; I have dog hairs from time to time!

The only items that I didn't install was the Vent covers. I couldn't see covering up the copper, and the fact that on the passenger side it was only a partial cover (half carbon half copper) not good...

I have a similar wheel cover also done door handles/cups. Front and Rear around the emblems. And red tailgate letters. Debating what to do next? Any ideas

Liking the steering wheel option -

Too tacky man sorry. If it was real carbon fiber as decoration it would be better. But a fake material for decoration?

As for looks, it's not to my taste either but I have to admit - the fitment is really good - better than I would have thought. It installed very nicely and will probably do a great job of protecting some of that material regardless of appearance preferences. Plus - it's not my truck. If @MightyMaverick likes the look I'd call it a win all the way around.

Years ago (70's) a buddy and I did a full chrome Harley Knucklehead --- looks great but impossible to drive in the day light as the sun would blind you. Shiny reflective interior pieces can also be too distracting in a car. Just saying, be careful what you wish for.

I did the raised tailgate letters and skull caps but nothing inside. I like what you’ve done. I’m trying to decide if I’ll do the same with my new A51 since I really like the carbon fiber
