Just saying......

Mine is a walnut wood burl
Yeah I didn't want fake carbon fiber......
I could have just bought it on eBay but prefer an OEM look.

And they probably have enough patterns to match the OE carbon fiber-ish) trim that comes in the sport! The CF is cool, but me thinks a high gloss when everything else is flat/raw CF looking would look mismatched.
