It's all personal preference. If you're going to get CF, then you might as well spring a little extra for the illumination.

Are we ever REALLY sure that they go out when the doors are closed?
Pretty sure... I can see it from the inside.
Too bad this can't be said about the fridge's light.

This picture is a pretty accurate representation of what the "turbo" looks like.

And yes, it comes on when you open the door and goes off when closed.

Cabron parts are hand-made. What happens: they have a mould, on which they stack pieces of dry CF-fabric. For structural parts, this has to be done very precisely. For aesthetic parts like doorsills, this is a minor issue. Then they impregnate it with resin and seal it off, putting it under vacuuum. Then it goes into the autoclave to stay there a certain time at high temperature and pressure. When it gets out, the parts have to be trimmed etc. It is a highly manual work, whilst with metal, I think they just put a sheet metal under a press, which cuts and folds it into shape. Polishing and it is ready.
