What Does FA5 Interior Visible Carbon Fiber Package Include?

[John]

There are three different components to this package:


A) The driver’s IP surround:


Picture thanks to WSJR


B) The enter console shift buttons trim surround:



C) The door arm rest switch surrounds.



As to pricing, since with only item A for the C7 being $995, I am guessing $1,195 (but like to guess high and hopefully be nicely surprised later).

Thanks for sharing that info John. That is an option I will select for sure.

[John]

Count me in also.

For me, it's do I really want to break up all the nice looking matching metal trim parts with carbon fiber in only some areas? Decisions, decisions?

[John]

Good question. One we should ask of our Steven Bell, the man with the gorgeous C7 “Carbon Fiber Edition,” who did not stop with factory visible CF, but has added so many beautiful pieces since. Here’s his thread to help you and perhaps others decide.

As nice as it looks, at those sorts of prices I'll probably save my money for other goodies. I wonder how much the GT2 seats are going to cost with their bit of CF. I hope less than the competition seats on the C7.

If there ever is a shortage of carbon fiber just head over to Mr. Bell's garage. That is an awesome set up. I really like the rear defuser on his car.

^^^^ Thank you sir...you are too kind! In my opinion, you can NEVER have too much Carbon Fiber. These C8 pieces look outstanding. It's difficult to guesstimate a price. The $1,195 could be it....maybe more. I guess we'll find out on August 15th.

OMG...gm is killing me with all this awesome options...

that is a sweet option for sure...

WOW...

[Richrat]

Thanks John!

I love it! I’m in, it’s on my option list...

It's odd looking to have the mode selector surround available in CF but the drive select right next to it is not. I am a big fan of uniformity. I am sure the aftermarket will address that.

Best IP vis CF picture we have (this one from unloading the buck at Laguna Seca today as per our slider thread. Quality is outstanding when seen in person!

I ordered it but my son did not, wonder if he will regret not doing so.

Its stunningly beautiful but what does it cost? A thousand dollars?

your son may think like many of us young in’s ... “hey its beautiful but for a grand Ill pass”

thats another aspect of corvette that is so cool. We each get to choose...
