Wow, that does look really good. :eek How much less does it weigh? (I'm aware the difference is probably insignificant). And if you're going all out on CF, I'm told that two of the easier things to ditch to save weight are the panels behind the seats.

:cheers

The weight of the first CF console panel was 1lb 9& 7/8 ounces. The production units with the cover are about 2lbs. If you want to save some additional weight you can leave out the heavy insulation panel. No record able noise gain. The insulation could also be replaced with some light weight poly fiber fill material...

Stormcat, can you post some pics of one of these installed? would like to see if the amount of carbon fiber "look" is overwhelming with all the nice leather trim? :cheers

Most of the console is hidden by the seats. Here's a link to a previous post. There are some other posts if you do a search. I also have some photos in My gallery.. http://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4663&highlight=Carbon+fiber+console
