Seat belt outlet carbon trim.
Now the sales guy suggests carbon trim for seat belt outlet covers. This is only a small piece and I can't find any photo's - any one can help?

Unless it's a case of mafiosi-like extortion money-wise, I'd get the CF belt trim. Why? Because when you look at the bottom pic the belt clip is the ugliest thing in the photo. It looks _different_ too. So in CF there'd be one less thing to notice. Or, at least you _tried_ to tie things together visually (less clutter, same materials).

I assumed (probably wrong) that the plastic female casing where the metal tab (male) goes, is what can be ordered in carbon.
In any case it would be nice if the part you shove the belt tab into could also be CF.

Thanks for the info intouch1. BTW, FWIW here's a nice door shot.
Don't forget aftermarket! Check this out:
Looks like you can add 300 lbs to the original weight of the car by adding aftermarket CF!

Thanks guys, it was the small trim pieces which fit over the seat belt outlets on the B pillar which were in question.
I knew a lot of CF parts were available on the after market but as usual, ask a question on Rennteam and you guys come up with a whole host of sources and answers.
I think I'm going to stay with my original choice of leather trim for center console and seat belt outlets and see what it looks like when the car arrives.
I already knew that Porsche cannot do all the interior plastic parts in CF and so I willl be replacing some of them any way.
My thinking is that if i get the console and other trim in leather then I can change them out for CF by buying from the specialists BUT its a lot harder to change CF to leather trim and get a good match.
