CF dash installed [picz] !!!

I was part of a group by here:
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...1&page=1&pp=15


Herez my review and picz:

Fit was pretty good, I did however spend about 1.5hrs cleaning things up. Radio surround wasn't quite square, so I sanded the DIN opening down to fix it. along with AC controls since far right button wouldn't depress. Shifter (manual) panel was pretty good except for ash tray wouldn't open without scraping, but again I just used sand paper to fix it. Large dash piece was perfect! Only thing not up to par was the mirror/foglamp panel. CF wasn't glued down all the way to where I could pull up almost half of it. I just epoxy'd it. Also on the same panel, all openings were real rough, not square and over cut. I did the best I could with sanding it down, but I can't fix the overcuts. On all panals, clearcoat has minor runs and/or stains in it. But, you really can't see it unless viewed in direct sunlight.

Most people don't look that closely to it, but when you do, minor imperfectons are noticible. Overall, it looks real good in the car, and I think it was worth the $200. It gives the car a nice mod look.

Looks good bro!


Still, I feel they should charge 10$ more and have the finish come up perfectly... just as one would expect to get when ordering a finishing trims kit.

So, this is a direct fit replacement for the stock pieces? Or does stick ontop of the stock piece?

I probably wouldn't do that to my car, but it does look good. Did you say a while ago that you're going for a new look (by getting rid of evo 8 spoiler)? Is this part of that plan, or did you just feel like doing this?

Yeah it looks very good man! But like Arithmetic saids it's a little too shiny. Maybee it's just the pictures or something. But one thing is sure, i'll invest my money somewhere else before doing that lol.

I like how it covers up the shifter part, but mine is shinier, but it didnt fit very well around my climate controls as you can see from my pics in link in my sig.

What's weird is that it's less shiny in person?! It's real dark too which I like because nothing really stands out now.

I am going for a different look, however, I had orded this before I changed my mind about the spoiler. I'm trying to go for a more stealth look. Dark colors, smaller CF spoiler, CF eyelids, CF liscense plate surround, CF fuel door. I already photoshop'd it and like the look.
