Carbon Fiber Matte Interior NOW GLOSSY

so decided the matte finish on the red Kevlar needed to go and decided to change the finish to a glossy finish. Which do you prefer? Matte red or glossy

ahh or a ferrari

Ive never seen a full interior civic with carbon fiber but have seen Porsche, Audi, Lambo, Ferrari.... but lots of people like the original look. It depends on preference. Some people even get the M3 and have a sunroof instead of the carbon fiber roof.

ive seen plenty of full carbon COVERED parts in a civic...

do these high end cars you speak of have carbon overlay parts or are they made entirely of carbon fiber?

These are actually wrapped pieces around the OEM plastic. Actually FERRARI does the exact same thing on their steering wheel, as do we but charge 5000 for the wheels SAME WITH PORSCHE... since you seem to be more knowledgeable about there parts than me

This isnt some double sided tape job THATS OVERLAY. This is hand wrapped carbon fiber with resin and clear coat.

Yea the thing about matte, you cant use ANYTHING other than WARM water and a clean rag. With glossy, you can wax it if you want, detail spray doesnt matter.

Matte was very hard when removing finger prints... I dont know how they got there but they werent mine lol

Griot's SpeedShine works very well for cleaning interiors trims and plastics, actually.
