Start by removing passenger seat, Airscarf, CD changer, spare tyre, etc.

I think CF interior kits are over priced, there must be another solution for sporty look...

At least those cars have a purpose but they are still expensive!!! In Turkey a new Porsche Turbo is 285000 Euros and a new F430 is over 300.000 Euros... You don't know expensive cars

the smile indicates a cheaper price than previously thought ero.
Can you share with us the price that these kits can be obtained for?

Peter, for the tripple part set it´s about 225,00 Euro and for the gear knob about 170,00 Euro (plus shipment). No Brabus, AMG or Carlsson prices
