The more I look at it the more I like the red leather and the black/gray dash. I reminds me of my business partner's Maserati. The matte black is not my style, even after coming back to it, but does not look bad. The only thing I really don't like is the steering wheel.

Interior would have been perfect with the dash was glossy piano black instead of carbon fiber. Piano black is more fitting to a proper Gt, cf is boy racerish

I think it looks great! Whoever mentioned the clear side lights was right I think.

The first thing I thought when I saw the interior was about the airbags. Is all the wrap and leather covering where the bags deploy?
Would they still function properly in a crash?

The carbon wrap won't effect it at all the steering wheel however looks like it has a seam through the middle so it can deploy...... Looks to me like the OP knows what he was doing

You are correct, The seam in the middle of the wheel is an airbag seam. It has been sewn up with special thread which breaks when the airbag blows.

I tried to source one but nobody seemed to make them. I even offered to send material to get it made. I ended up just making it myself which wasn't too difficult. Hardest part was the shroud around the rear window. Here is some pictures.

Default Carbon Dash with Black Rings

This is what the wrapped dash looks like with plasti dip rings.
