CF parts on my Roadster
Okay, finally some pics of my car and some of the beautiful work by CarbonOne. I got the car 8 days ago, but have just been too busy driving to setup and take pics, but TEG reminded me I promised them, so here it the first batch. I just got the gauge bezel on yesterday, that one was a bit tougher than the door sills and door pulls because Tesla was very liberal about their use of epoxy to hold the OEM part in place. It took all my strength to pull it off the car before I could get the CF one on! Anyway, the new CF one looks 100 times better, and even the small set of CF stuff on their now really makes it a way better looking interior. (I did not use epoxy as Tesla did -- I used velcro and double-sided tape which works perfectly)

Unfortunately weather was not so great today, but normally the sun really brings out an almost glass-like look from the obsidian black body. Note that I have 2.0 wheels installed on the car -- I got a discount and I like the black 2.0 wheels on a black car because the spokes are a bit thinner than the 2.5's and bring more of the silver inner part of the wheel through.
The carbon fiber really makes the interior look gorgeous, and even the standard interior looks great on the 2.5, especially black I thought which is why I didn't put any accents or anything in. Many more carbon fiber pieces still to come from CarbonOne:
* vertical side pieces above door sills
* nav bezel
* complete center console
* full hood
* rear wing
* side air intakes
* taillight bezel
I'll get more pics up as soon as these parts get here and I can get them on the car (hood, rear wing, and side air intakes due next) and also when it's nicer outside. Finally, the door sills are just amazing -- they are tough, gorgeous, don't scuff, and make it easier to get in and out of the car because you can sit on them and slide right in or out with no damage to them. Really just must for the Roadster to have these... anyway, have a look at the pics and see if you agree!
