Carbon Fiber interior package--Worth the price of admission?

[Lawrenzo]

Sorry, but for $3,400 it looks like an inexpensive 1990's plastic applique(this picture looks far better than what I saw in person). C'mon SRT, if you're going to do it at all make sure to do it right!

For only $500 I received this level of quality on my new Audi S7-

I have it in my 14, and it looks better in person. Definitely real, looks nothing like the fake dipped stuff. Do I wish it had a polished finish, yes. However the matte finish is pretty cool as well. All a matter of opinion.

[ViperSmith]

From my understanding it is matte so it doesn't reflect sunlight in your face as you are driving.

I love the matte, and another thing to remember is that you can't buy the parts after the fact, if you could they cost WAY more then the $3400 installed price.

[bluesrt]

yes the matte is way better looking than the gloss for shure- srt did a great job on that choice

Total opinion question. I really like CF, but from a performance standpoint, I like the Aero Pkg for ex and IMO that is totally worth it, but others would disagree.

For the interior, IMO the CF stuff is a waste of $ and a "whatever" item, like the exterior CF appearance pkg is IMO. But as many love as don't care, it's like paint color in terms of opinions. For me, it's a no thank you, $3400 is a nice amount to invest in a performance item.

I like the matte better. More performance-car inspired. If you want them glossy, remove them and take them to a paint shop and just get some gloss clearcoat applied/buffed. Simple.

[Lawrenzo]

I guess I prefer my "bling" to be a bit more eye popping.

[ViperSmith]

JETSTAR said he'll be doing interior CF parts eventually, I assume much cheaper than the factory package. I personally like the clear coated over the matte as well.

I ordered the carbon interior accents sight unseen. Would I do it again now that I have seen it.....YES.

Well I can confirm the carbon fiber interior is off the charts. The semi finish really looks outstanding!(also have the carbon fiber door sills being delivered from Wayne) My Silver SRT came in on Saturday & just picked up on Tues. I ordered carbon int/ext with the non spoilers(just my preference), blk leather & hyper wheels as other options. I just hit 98 miles today on the twisty's of Ortega hwy. Grinning ear to ear!!!! Pic's & membership soon to follow (having to much fun to work!) 402 MILES left until I SEE THE RED SNAKE!

Glad you got your car already Cash... SoCal Viper has a bunch of upcoming events check out the forum SoCal Viper Forum (http://socalviper.com/forum/) in upcoming events as well as track events.


Also the car control clinic in October is really popular event. They generally have to limit the number of participants, so signing up sooner rather than later is a good idea. There's no better way to learn the limits of your new Viper than the car control clinic... :dude3:
