^^ but alot of people like the look like me.. my entire dash and drivers side door panel is CF, looks badass.. cost me 300 bucks.. if i woulda had it molded and real CF woulda cost easy 1000+ and then it woulda never fit as good as the stock dash, and i woulda lost maybe a whole 10-15 lbs MAX.. way not worth it if you ask me.. i would only get armrest if i were to get the whole center consol wrapped in CF.

in your case, as far as im concerned, its different. it looks pretty good because the dash flows nicely and its not just a single peice of cf in the middle of nowhere. i wouldnt have it done because i like the glossy black painted look much better, but its not bad. you just need to get that damned bottom part wrapped.

you wouldnt of lost 10 lbs. not even close. it would probably be the same weight if not more with all the resin.
the quality of the armrest looks good. i work with carbon fiber and that looks pretty good.
the price is pretty damn good too.
as far as it cracking? i doubt it will crack. cf can flex just like cf hoods. as long as the resin he used is good you wouldnt have a problem with it.

eh, if you were trying to lose weight in the interior, you don't build it out of cf, you remove it.... cool.gif
anyways I think it can look cool, I just wouldn't do it myself.

cf hoods dont have someone constantly pointing their elbow right into them with a flexible material underneath them.
its just overlayed, so it still has the oem soft material underneath. it will start showing stress marks unless you dont use the thing at all.
