I did not have time to set up my Pro-camera rig yet, but I went ahead and just took some snapshots of the interior project as it stands now.
This weekend I added:
Slate CF-Leather/Black Suede Gearshift **** (from VE)
Slate CF-Leather/Black Suede Brake Handle (from VE)
Slate CF-Leather/Black Suede Door-Pull Handles (from VE)
Slate CF-Leather Sunvisors (from VE)
Slate CF-Leather Door Bezels
Slate CF-Leather Lower Door Sections
Slate CF-Leather Ash Tray Lid
Slate CF-Leather Cup Holder Lid
Slate CF-Leather/Med-Grey CF-Leather/Black Suede Steering Wheel.
The CF-Leather is pretty tricky to photograph and it bounces back light from the flash, but these will give you some idea... again I am trying for more of a classy/luxury look that is more subtle.
Although I personally don't like the carbon fiber look, just looking at your interior, it is a step above most aftermarket pieces and a great improvement over stock. I love VE stuff, in my book there's only one interior manufacture that is in the same class as VE and they are quite a bit more expensive (Caravaggio of course)

I am not a big fan of the Carbon Fiber look either (in general) and while they "call" this leather "Carbon Fiber", it is not what I think of when Carbon Fiber comes to mind. All of the CF I have seen has a distinct diagonal pattern to it - this does not - this is more like a woven or cross-hatch pattern on the surface of the leather (there is no actual CF in the leather). When I first saw the swatch over a year ago, it was not at all what I expected and that is what sold me on it - its uniqueness. The only time I have ever seen a leather pattern similar to this was in a $600 purse I bought a GF 16 years ago.
Wow! Talk about carrying on Kens' tradition of excellence
How does the covering not impede the operation of the cupholder lid, lighter/12v compartment door, and the door bezels? I'd think the added thickness of the covering would present a problem but it obviously doesn't.........Class choices there for sure

VE Carbon Fiber Leather Phase II - Pics
And, I especially admire the detail and contrasting leather textures and colors implemented in the seats and steering wheel.
