^^ ditto above.

Personally, I'd prefer the CF as it tends to blend with the rest of the dash better, but you would HAVE to do the same on the door-cards too to get the whole car looking complete.

Re: Carbon fiber or Wood console?

Yeah, i like the wood look, but those pictures show faded disclored wood. May be its just my crappy work PC.

Re: Carbon fiber or Wood console?

That car was so ahead of it's time, this is the 1994 Legend...Look!



What about something like piano wood? Carbon fiber look with the texture of wood?

Re: Carbon fiber or Wood console?

carbon fiber looks real fake, but i would still go w/ it over the wood. It flows better in the interior. See if you can find carbon fiber that looks a little more realistic..

Re: Carbon fiber or Wood console?

Well as much as I liked the look of the CF, i have decided my next major purchase is to go black interior and go with the japanese center console for the Legend. I was going to go with this style console:



and change tan interior to black.

Now i just need to find good plastic dye for my interior plastic's because black interior pieces are a pain to find!

Re: Carbon fiber or Wood console?

Id go with this type of console, but I dont have digital climate control



But you can get an idea of what it would look like in a legend.

Also, i have to find a handicap mobility place......not because i am handicap......because the JDM console removes the hand brake, so i would need an electric e-brake installed.

Re: Carbon fiber or Wood console?

I like the carbon fiber because blends with the interior because it's gray. The wood makes it look too busy.

Re: Carbon fiber or Wood console?

Wood. Carbon fiber doesn't look good on anything except that which comes with it - and not just an overlay, but a functional CF *piece*

IMHO using CF like how I mentioned is well.. rice
