I just had this incredible CARBON FIBER interior installed by the guys at C2 DESIGN in Tampa, Florida. I couldn't wait long enough for them to install the shifter piece to take pics! It's 100% real CF and the finish is PERFECT. It changed the whole look of the X5. Their pieces are finished the same way as the factory does the wood. It's incredible! You can visit them at
www.c2dusa.com and see some of their other work. They're a DINAN dealer too. The CF was expensive but it is worth every penny in my opinion.
