Thanks!
It looks way better in person. The real problem is using it without overdoing it. Now that I look at the photo, the big speedo is really a problem--there's nothing to do about it other than maybe a black dial face. You need a few highlights just so it doesn't become all black and too dark.
It certainly makes the stock MFSW look a lot classier! Still feels the same, though
Haven't seen anyone do the A pillars. I have "wet" CF on the exterior and dry look CF vinyl on the interior. My rear seat delete panel is the same material, and I'm thinking of doing the backs of the Sparcos.
I know of a few suppliers, PM me to get the links.

No, I'm using real (wet) CF on all exterior parts (scoop, headlight rings, door handles, gas cap--in progress) and dry-look CF vinyl on the interior.
I call real CF wet because it's in a matrix of epoxy that looks wet and deep, whereas the 3M NiDoc vinyl, although with a nice look, is very 2-dimensional, and clearly not the real thing.
Many people are using the 3M product on the exterior of the car, like a wrap, and I can imagine it will last just fine. But it also has a great look on the interior and seems to match the vinyl on the upper dash--for example--because it's matte and not glossy.
I'm using real CF on the exterior because it's shiny and seems to match the paint well (at least in my opinion.) If I put the dry NiDoc vinyl on the exterior, I'd be adding yet another texture, and it would look a little "busy."
Anyway, that's my aesthetic.
And, the cup holder? No longer made--the company went out of business a few years back. Sorry.

I just ordered the shift boot from here: Boot. It should be here by the end of the week. I'll post some pics when it gets done.
I've got a question for Dr. Phil.... How did you wrap that silver trim ring around the airbag??? Did you do it while it was on the airbag or did you remove the ring and do it separately?
