Carbon Fiber Interior Panels

Since the panels and the arm rests go together I thought I would up date this thread, rather than starting a new one, with the progress on the arm rests.
I do have the original arm rests but I need a place to put the switches for the electric windows and door locks. Adding on to them did not seem like a good idea so I decided to make a set of rests that would be large enough for the switches but be in the same general design as the originals.

The foam is a rigid foam called 'Divinacell" which carves and sands quite easily, it also is made to bond to the composite matrix very efficiantly.
I got the first layer of carbon on and will wait at this point untill I get the switches to finish machining the switch cavities and applying the final layer of carbon.
