In the photos it looks like real carbon...but maybe this way you won't have to worry about it yellowing or clear coat oxidation.

I love CF, but its a lot of work to maintain in sunny states.

BTW love the recaro child's seat

I thought about doing these but didn't want to have them interfere with my window visors

Yes, you are correct Sir,
You can NOT install this if you have window visors.
It was specified on the installation manual.
