Well we all know the GEN6 could certainly use a little help with INTERIOR upgrades and as much as I hate to admit it, our MOOSTANG boys did a much better job as it relates to the INTERIOR.

Personally I have always been a fan of REAL carbon Fiber pieces in the interior. I do think that can be OVERDONE though and then for me I think that DETRACTS from the overall look of the car and the car takes on a SHINY plastic look.

I am very particular about the look and DEPTH of the carbon fiber which is a reason that HYDRODIP carbon fiber pieces never really appealed to me much.

With all of this in mind I recently installed some carbon fiber pieces from a company called www.carbonaddons.com. They offer for our our cars and a few others REAL carbon Fiber SKINS that attached very tightly and with great conformity to the EXISTING interior trim pieces. To accomplish this they use a VERY thin strong double sided tape that comes already attached to the back side of the skin which you then PRESS on to the trim piece. So basically it is a peel, stick and press process.

Below are sone PICS of a few of the pieces that I have added. The FIRST pick shows the circular piece that attaches to the horn button and a piece that attaches to the BOTTOM of the steering wheel yet has an opening for the SS emblem to show through. I think I will add also the pieces that attach to the left and right trim pieces that are just to the LEFT and RIGHT of the center horn button. They also make a CIRCULAR piece that covers up the circular trim piece around the outside edge of the horn button but for me, I prefer to leave that particular piece SHINY like it is NOW. The SECOND and THIRD pic shows that full console piece that skins over the existing shiny stainless trim piece.

I think I will add a few other pieces BUT probably not any of the larger DASH pieces since I think those can be a little overwhelming aesthetically (personal opinion). Also to me ANY of the circular pieces like for the AC vents or outside edge of the horn button are not quite right from the standpoint of showing off the weave of the natural carbon fiber (again, personal opinion).

Overall though the quality of these pieces is VERY good. Fit also is very good. Color is excellent (i got black but they also have blue and red weave)

Here is a link to the specific pieces for the GEN6.
