According to the information from Steve, it is a Carbon Fibre look alike 
product. I would assume that they did this for durability reasons where it 
would possible be exposed to more rubbing damage from your boots ? From the 
looks of the picture it is a very nice looking bit (some faux CF I've seen 
looks really poor)

As long as you have checks in the checkbook there's plenty of money left - 
at least that's the logic my wife uses .....

Are you talking about the bits under the screen or the pieces below the 
dash or both ?

In any event, I agree it would really look sharp. As Steve Lilley seems to 
be the CF king (ever seen the Lilley Ultra Light?) I've cc'd him on this 
email as well - he is on the digest version so he doesn't always see the 
posts same day - plus he actually claims to be busy at the shop ..... I've 
only ever seen pictures of him sitting about drinking coffee so I'm not too 
sure about that ...... :-)
