Default APSIS Carbon Fiber pieces installed

First...thanks Glen e for the support. I struggled with removing the old console and the resident expert Glen graciously took my phone call and walked me though it over the phone. Install was pretty simple once you know what you're doing. I could do it again in under 15 minutes I think. The pieces are OE quality and worth the price IMO. I have a couple more pieces on the way (waterfall & passenger window and door lock trim) but wanted to post these so people can again see the quality of these pieces.

I opted for what Jersey refers to as "opposite weave" which means the direction of the fiber goes the same direction of the OE dash on that side of the wheel. If you look close on the OE dash the direction of the fibers go in two opposite directions on either side of the wheel, converging in the center.

Steven Bell on this forum got me hooked, after seeing his I had to have it so he's costing us both money.

Best do that after he finishes the job first, or it'll never get done.

Looks real good Doc. How does the center console match the OEM dash panel?? Is that the matte finish ?? Hard to tell from my iPhone.

Thanks

DAMN Matt!

We really need to hook up. That looks great. That's high on my list along with skirts and front spoiler, LT's, FI, etc., etc., etc.

BTW: Mrs. WKMCD saw the CF dash and made sure I ordered it with the car. She'll love the added CF.

If you didn't know it wasn't a GM option you'd never guess it. It's a perfect match.

Looks great! I agree that it's worth the price. The pieces are pretty much impeccable. Can't wait to get my drivers side window bezel. How hard is that to install? Just pop it off?

Yep...just pops right off and snaps back into place. Takes about 3 minutes.
