Just got my new oCarbon trim installed. Looks amazing and the quality is top notch. The red of the leather and trim photograph a little differently but they're very close in person. Very happy with the end result, the red trim is stunning.

Sorry my car isn't super clean atm.

That looks awesome. Please post pics of the outside of the car if you can. I've been wanting to see a red b8.5 Alu optic

This is how I feel also. I wouldn't do this for my own car, but I can appreciate the time, effort, and quality of the pieces and the fun combination of the red seats with red trim. My guess is that pictures don't do it enough justice.

Id love to see this in person. In pcs he color is too far off for me.
I think this would be unreal on black interior with red stitching!

The pictures might do it more justice if the camera flash is turned off or toned down a bit. Flashes have a tendency to wash out the colors a bit.

It was too dark to do without flash, I'll take some without tomorrow

The trim itself looks very well done but there is just too much red IMO. And they're not similar in depth. I'm sure it looks better in person [up]

agreed with everyone else.. the trim looks great, just not with magma seats.

This is exactly what I wanted to see! Thanks for posting pics. There are none that I have found that would give a good comparison/contrast. I was always wondering if Red Carbon would be too much, and if I should just keep the stock black carbon. I still can't make up my mind, but this gives a better perspective than any pics I've seen before. More pics from all different angles are welcome! :) It might help me make up my mind.

Not sure the pictures actually due justice to the mod. Seats look gray when in fact we all know they are dark charcoal. Not sure the red color of the seats look like that in person either.

Looking good Adam!

I can say that these pictures do not do the trim justice, particularly the color. In pictures, it looks like a bright, fire engine red. But in person it looks more like a dark, deep red that slowly changes color depending on how the light hits it. It is a very cool effect.

I've tried very hard to get accurate pictures of the color, but its really tough. They must be seen in person to be appreciated. This is the closest I've come:

What could help would be setting your camera's functions to a neutral or faithful color balance (if it has it) so that it doesn't post-process and add unnatural vividness to the image. Taking a picture with and without a true gray card in the picture under the same lighting conditions and then balancing the color from the image with the gray card in post processing may also help characterize the proper color a little better. It's a pain and I'm sure your time is spent doing the actual work on the product but if you want to give accurate color renditions of your work it's a start in the right direction.

I just took quick pics as it was getting dark. I'll get some better ones soon. The appearance of the trim does change based on angle and light which creates an awesome 3D effect.

If I was shooting a porn video 3some in my car, I would do it in a flash. Looks like the carbon red trim is darker than the seats but it could just be the angle of the picture. Not my style but I can appreciate it.

I wasn't meaning to criticize with my previous comments. I meant in order to show off the fabulous work you do, some good pictures could help. :-)

Depends on your taste however, it is a very exotic, custom look!

It's the flash that brings out the color like that. Take it in daytime with no flash.

Got a couple pics that show it a little better. Also someone wanted to see the exterior with Alu-Optic package.

Not my style but as many people who like my blacked out cart hate it but in the end its MY CAR and I like it. Enjoy and keep up the modding

Beautiful work. I have same seats and wonder how black and magma would look with the silver carbon fiber to replace my current aluminum trim. Agree with others...too much red for my taste.

Thanks for posting those. The car looks great. I'll stay updated on your build thread.

Awesome work. Overall to much red for me, but i do like one of the last pics that shows the red stitching with the Red Carbon.
