Yes they are, they were burl, like the rest of the car originally was. I am not sure how I feel about the engine turn. I have had it for about a year now and still not grown used to it. Now that I have carbon fiber paddle shifters I am contemplating taking the original burl console pieces and refinishing them in carbon. But I am not a huge fan of carbon either so just not sure.

Well, decided to go carbon fiber and so far I love it. Sorry the pics are not the best.

Although I'm generally not a carbon fiber fan, it looks absolutely terrific in your car. Did you have the red-stitched diamond quilted inserts on your seats made custom for you? They look great as well.
Good job!

Good job!
As I noted previously, I'm not typically a fan either. And I never planned on it for this car until I had a custom made ergonomic sport flat bottom steering wheel on carbon fiber. Now that I have done this, I couldn't be more pleased. I also have the door inserts in carbon and having the door sill thresholds done in carbon as well.
