Carbon fiber or Wood console?

[smokinfastlegen]

or

Just want to know what your opinions are. Im sorry i dont have a better picture of wood. I just want some opinions about these consoles, i like sporting both, sometimes having the wood to feel luxurious and then the fiber to feel sporty. Also sorry for the dirty interior on the wood pictures, that was after i installed the sound system.

I kind of like the CF.

 

[Legacy]

what kind of car?

what kind of car?

+1...that's kinda the deciding factor. I'd never rock woodgrain in the Z b/c it doesn't really fit, but certain cars it would work, and same w/ the CF.

 

[BigChevMan]

I'd rock the carbon fiber. The wood looks like plastic, which looks cheap imho.

 

[dsms]

The CF is cheap looking and fake, IMO wood looks better.

 

[derekbmw]

if i HAD to choose, i'd go with wood. that CF doesn't look good at all.

Its an Acura legend coupe.

Maybe some wider shots of the rest of the interior would help us decide -- and maybe a shot w/o any? In the pics above, I like the CF best. I do not really like that particular wood grain.

It looks like the piece where the window switches are is already wood? If so, I'd go with wood.

I agree with the above. Even though the carbon fiber doesn't look real o-well I still like it way better than the wood look. Find some CF for the window switches to match.

^^ 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.

 

[Lowejackson]

I would choose the wood

 

[pontgta]

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

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?

 

[08SubyLegacy]

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..

 

[smokinfastlegen]

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!

 

[LanceM]

id go with the wood

 

[smokinfastlegen]

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.
