Not my style.

Just keep in mind that it will be very difficult to paint, as the fake CF would need a lot of prep work to get the paint to stick.

Don't do it dude. If you want a different look just get the CF material and wrap it. Painting it the same color as your car would look ricey IMO.

I personally wouldn't do it. I don't really care for the fake cf look either.

I actually have a very similar situation and will be doing the same thing.

Its your car do what you like, but since you asked it makes it seem like your not totally sold on your idea.

Sorry about that, that was for evo 7-9 and didn't see you had a newer lancer...check rexpeed.net out to see if they offer anything for your interior.
