Excessive, but still cool. Very cleanly done.

Where'd you find this?

It doesnt really look like tape, I can see depth, but maybe. Anyways, from the pics it looks really good. I love carbon fiber, but would not buy any of it for my car cause its too damn expensive. Looks like an ugly tree sprouted up out of the middle of the interior though (automatic shifter), which completely ruins the whole car for me.

As soon as I saw the auto, it was over. The interior looks rediculous to me and hes not saving much weight from the plastic parts.

WOW!! With all that CF I bet it's lighter than an Elise now! [/sarcasm] On a more serious note, I happen to be a fan of unpainted CF (oh sh1t, where's that asbestos lined firesuit?), but methinks that is a bit much. I'm pretty sure this particular example is a show car. However, if that's the case, do go in half-as$ed. Where's the CF doors and racing seats?

It'd be better if it where a race seat and a CF dash and doors that’s it. The CF stripped interiors always look nice and professional. With all the TV's and gadgets it looks confused. It does look very well done though. It was probably a lot of work.

He has so many things carboned and yet he can't cover the glove box, the little ring covering the ignition.. the inside of the center console.. Especially the side view mirrors, you can pick up CF covers for those things from ebay for like $75.. those little things shouldn't be a problem! haha

Try more like $10K in CF.

CF is so nice, but thats definitely overkill. I dont think thats real carbon fiber panels. At least, I hope its just over lay. Like Greg said, thats worth thousands if its genuine.

I like my CF on the outside of the car.
