Hey guys you know the OEM carbonfibre option for the console is that a whole replacement? like you have to remove the old one and put this one in or does it go over it somehow?

Cheers Steven

i also heard they were stickers but then id be more simple to just replace the whole console rather then put stickers on it

and i got some good news, ordered my mounts from the states, 450 shipped, so gotto hold out driving the car for 1-2 weeks, mounts are so f$%ked

IM 188cm and its not the most comfortable, try getting lower sear rails... seems odd i know but it actually does help with the whole tall lanky prob like me :)

i got Vision lower rail for OEM recaro. it's like 5cm lower now and i love it. i'm 183cm tall and i see out from the middle of the windscreen rather than the top now. i can have the steering wheel lower which is sorta slightly closer to me. but another inch towards me and it'll be perfect.

regarding OEM CF dash kit, it's a stick on thing (not replacement).

i dun really like the OEM CF dash becos it doesn't cover up all the silver bit. ie. around the air cond buttons etc.
