Any chance this will be available in black or matte carbon fiber style?

Is that a water bottle it's balancing on in the one picture and mysteriously floating on the other end? Woooo (Say that in your best scary voice.)

OK Serious questions and comments.

1. Why the "4 x 4 Offroad" that's is printed across the front of it?
2. How many colors can you choose? or does it just cycle through some presets?
3. How about a black version for those who aren't into CF look?
4. Installation video would nice. Where is it wiring up to?
5. Please hire someone to proofread your installation instructions. The ones that came with your seat covers that I just put on my wife's bronco were horrible. My wife and I were laughing hard at times trying to "figure out" what they meant since half the time they don't make sense. Wrong words used a lot and the pictures are so small and faded that it's almost impossible to figure out what you're even looking at. I'd be willing to proof read and rewrite them for you for a trade... I'm sure we can work out an exchange.
My wife took 1 look at this and said “You are not installing this in my bronco. I have zero carbon fiber in my BL. Is that even real carbon fiber?”

However, even if it came in say matte black, it would be a hard pass for me due to the 4x4 offroad lettering.

And as someone who has bought & installed several Mabett products, I’ve yet to see a set of instructions arrive without spelling, grammar, hard to depict from images, etc.. I’ve found issues with the instructions from other Bronco accessory companies (JL audio Bronco stealthbox, Mobridge, Bestop trektop, Rokslide Engineering steps, even Ford’s Bronco workshop manual to name a few) but Mabett’s is next level. It’s almost like the instructions were first written in a different language and then translated.

It's not almost like that. It actually is that!

They hire the best 4th grade Chinese dropout they can find to translate the manuals into Engrish.

It’s probably all AI translated - just copy and paste it into Google Translate (or whatever the Chinese equivalent is)

Well I'll be their huckleberry. I picked one up with the discount. If I do not like it, I will just send it back. With my Amazon points it's basically free, so why not?

I understand what people are saying about the CF, but what I am looking at is the ugly biege/white piece that IMO looks out of place where the console is matt black. I took a good look at my dash yesterday and decided it could not be that bad. I did confirm that the 4x4 print is only for the photo that was posted.

I will see. I do understand that nothing else is CF, but honestly an overlay by the center console or shift, or basically do the same layout the BRaptor CF has would take care of that. I have a shop that can do it at a decent price. I think having the Ambient Orange light to match the other Orange in my RIG will look nice.

Either way, good/bad/indifferent I'll post it up.

Pics once you get it, especially if you decide to install it

Pretty interesting! Would definitely buy if it had a matte black option without the lettering, to match my thrasher-spec big bend interior haha.

Not a fan of the glossy faux carbon fiber and 4x4 offroad print.

Ugg I swear I hate this place. Now I am looking at carbon fiber inserts to help balance out this mod......I have found that there is a set that matches up with the BRaptors CF inserts.

Wow. I really need to take a break from here. I keep finding things to spend money on.

I also purchased one. Let me know how install goes. The difficult part on the video appears to be removal of the current part. I’ll add a cf overlay by the door trim to blend the cf look.
