Carbon fiber or Wood console?



or





Just want to know what your opinions are. Im sorry i dont have a better picture of wood. I just want some opinions about these consoles, i like sporting both, sometimes having the wood to feel luxurious and then the fiber to feel sporty. Also sorry for the dirty interior on the wood pictures, that was after i installed the sound system.

+1...that's kinda the deciding factor. I'd never rock woodgrain in the Z b/c it doesn't really fit, but certain cars it would work, and same w/ the CF.

Re: Carbon fiber or Wood console?

I'd rock the carbon fiber. The wood looks like plastic, which looks cheap imho.

The CF is cheap looking and fake, IMO wood looks better.

Re: Carbon fiber or Wood console?

Maybe some wider shots of the rest of the interior would help us decide -- and maybe a shot w/o any? In the pics above, I like the CF best. I do not really like that particular wood grain.

It looks like the piece where the window switches are is already wood? If so, I'd go with wood.

Re: Carbon fiber or Wood console?

I agree with the above. Even though the carbon fiber doesn't look real o-well I still like it way better than the wood look. Find some CF for the window switches to match.
