Miata13 , I haven't forgotten about you buddy- I didn't have the car for a few days getting windows tinted, XPEL PPF applied, and having a black box (INAVI Quantum 2) installed.

A few pics:

Thanks Pickle Rick for posting those photos....really like the CF elements! Did you install those pieces yourself? If so, was it an easy DITY project?

Super-easy DIY project. Plastic trim removal tools and a torx-screw (memory says it was a T20 size) is required, and I did have to use a bit more elbow grease getting the iDrive controller in the CF piece next to the shifter (a power tool would've made this a 30 second job).

I was also a bit paranoid about breaking the side view mirrors when I popped them out. You'll notice that the CF cover is a screw-in while the OEM plastic has plastic tabs. As for the part that tries to prevent accidental tab release (behind the mirror) I cut them out to get the screws in.

Taking it slow the whole thing took about 30 minutes, with another 15 to check for fitment and ensure everything went in perfectly.

Some reference videos:

added the red start/stop from BMW (not the replacement button, but the entire ignition module). There's a thread of it in the cosmetics section, but I thought I'd add how the white light looks. On the BMW part, the button lighting is white as opposed to the stock amber. I swear it added +5HP.

Very Nice! Now that you've had the car for a bit, what are your thoughts on the oyster interior? I'm picking mine up next month (Estoril/Oyster) and it seems like every picture I see looks a little different in terms of how light or dark it is. I really wanted to lighten up the interior vs. the all black and Oyster looked like the best choice. Would you spec it that way again?
