Domed Carbon Interior Overlays by Tufskinz.

I was bored and ordered a Tufskinz CF domed center console dress up kit for my OEM CF package. I was hoping it would compliment the OEM CF, but honestly I'm kind of on the fence with it. If I decide to go this route, I'll be doing the center stack and screen border. Pics attached for those who are curious what the two different weaves look like together.

Tufskinz also offers a raw CF dress up kit that I like, but they look even more like a sticker to me without any dimension.

That does not match very well with the EcoBoost carbon option. It might match up better with the R though.

Disappointing how the gen3 carbon doesn't really look like any CF that I'm used to seeing - even the gen2 carbon package got it right

You’re likely accustomed to a more common 2x2 weave. The raptor seems to use the 5HS weave.

Carbon Fiber comes in different weave patterns, like Plain, Twill and Harness Satin. This blog post will explain the different weaves and why they are used.

Look up hydro-dipping in your area. From experience, those nooks and crannies are going to be disgusting after a while. Plus it looks tacky IMO.

Looks like black denim

Looks like my old Bianchi basketweave duty belt and holster.

Yes, the Gen2 had better CF. The Gen3 looks really fake, but it's just not something I concentrate on.
Tufskinz makes CF for the black area behind the front driver and passenger door windows. Not the easiest thing to apply perfectly straight, especially around the door code buttons, but I did on my last Gen2. I liked it but when I remove them it was next to impossible, and the glue left was a nightmare. GooGone up the w a z o o and a few hours work to get it off.

My rescue lab mix, however, loves to lay from back to front across the center console and has really scratched the plastic running behind the cupholders so this seems like maybe a good solution to that. She rests her paw on the shifter. lol.

I decided to install the inserts solely because I had a few scuffed up pieces from the previous owner. I will say they have grown on me quite a bit.

For the pup I wouldn't recommend the domed carbon - the top resin coat is pliable/soft and I could easily see them being damaged from dog nails.

TufSkinz does offer a "raw" carbon which looks pretty neat. The only caveat being they lose some depth without the resin layer. Something worth exploring.

I ordered them too from the same company on my 23. None of it matches from the doors to the console to the outline of the info screen. It looks ok but cheap. They could have at least matched everything to the original manufacturer I mean come on,…. How difficult is that? Some of it is shiny rubber and other is a harder material. I liked it on the console in case I drop my coffee travel mug etc.
