That’s what I was thinking & it literally takes 2 seconds to remove them.

And a quick comparison (top is a stock photo but shows the OEM interior)...

I do like the contrast of the red leather & CF pieces to the black CF. Wish that console piece covered up to the chrome bezel though.

Maybe I’ll pop the bezel off, get some 3M film & lay that down before I put the CAO piece down.

Maybe I missed it, but have you seen anyone list the memory setting surround overlay?

ETA: just went back through my CAO stuff & they sent me two shifter surrounds & none of the door LED surrounds I ordered. Grrrrrr

Hopefully they get you the right item!

And yeah, I plan to add the real carbon fiber piece for around the interior door handle (next-gen speed has these listed as, "Carbon Fiber Interior Door Handle Cover | 2016 – 2021 Camaro") and probably the entire HVAC section piece and up by the Onstar.

I found a couple trim pieces around the seat memory buttons BUT... they all look to be hydro dipped and not real carbon fiber so that's a no go, unfortunately. Seems like an easy piece lol.

Mostly finished up the carbon fiber interior bits... Did up the steering wheel as well as adding some aluminum rings onto the face of the 4 vents Nothing to wild I don't think, lol




Later on I plan to add real carbon fiber piece around the door handle and also pick up the full hvac carbon fiber piece and the carbon fiber piece up that holds the map lights and what not, plus full carbon fiber vent rings (in red) And plan to swap my red leather knee bolsters with red Alcantara knee bolsters, lol.

PlayList on YouTube of the various interior pieces (installs, overviews, etc), for a anyone super bored, LOL:

That looks so good.

I put on the door handle bezels last night. Looks pretty good.

Did your drivers door control overlay have a break in it below the mirror adjuster?

Thank you!

A break in it?

Here is what it looks like...

Hmm, yeah, that looks nothing like the one I have.

These are what mine look like:



These are the ones I ordered (they are hard pieces, not the flexible style):

https://next gen speed/shop/chevy/ch...-chevy-camaro/ ** Remove the spaces

Yours look like these cheaper ones:

Was finally able to find a passenger side smoked tail light, installed both and no longer have any red on the car except for the RS and Camaro emblems. Also plasti-dipped the stock RS spoiler and mirrors. I think they turned out pretty good for an ultra-cheap method.

I'm planning to get a set of black wheels and satin black wrap for the hood, then I'll have the all-black accent theme I'm looking for. The polished wheels make the extra black seem a little clunky, IMO.

I agree, definitely need the black wheels... Otherwise looks great!

Love the smoked back end, I did mine the same way!

I LOVE the red SS and everything else is smoked out...

Thanks! I hated the red tail lights and reflectors with the blue body (just don't like the combo for some reason), but I like the red RS emblem. I feel like it 'pops' and makes the whole theme come together. I also used Rust-Oleum engine enamel to paint the exhaust tips black, I hope it holds up well. It should, it's rated for up to 500°F. Not sure if I like the gloss though, I feel like it might have looked better in matte.


Gotta say, the more I look at the 2019+ tail lights the more I like them...

Personal preferences right... I'm the exact opposite... I'm not a fan of the smoked tail lights and side reflectors.

That looks to be a carbon fiber overlay, which is a common way people "add" carbon fiber...because it is cheap. Big difference between using stick-on CF pieces and actually replacing a part with a carbon fiber part.
