Default Carbon fiber or hammered texture for interior?

We are getting close to re-doing the interior in the Baja. Which vinyl fabric is easier to take care of, the carbon fiber or hammered vinyl?
Which one do you think will stay in style longer?
We are also thinking of re-doing the dash panels in carbon fiber but might do something different dependent upon which way the interior goes.

I'm new to this forum so not sure if you've made the upgrade yet but the carbon fiber will also add strength as well as look sharp.

carbon fiber vinyl adds no strength. however, it does look good. I can't say I have ever seen hammered but I did my last boat with carbon and I liked it.

You do need an interior guy that takes a bit of extra time because it is a directional material. if they flip a piece different from one side to the other you will notice.

I would like to go with carbon fiber myself. But I may stick to white when it is time for me to change it. I don't know where you live, but if you live in South Texas, anything other than white is a mistake around here. In July and August when it gets to 105-106 degrees, you can't touch any material other than white. You will burn yourself.
