Dash inserts!

A friend of mine who is also on this forum showed me a listing on ebay for a carbon fiber dash kit for the 02-06 lancer. It cost me about $40 (including shipping) and it comes with inserts for just about every dash piece. You can order in good variety of colors (I got blue cf). I don't know how good the quality will be seeing as how it was only $40 but I will post pics soon.

you can pm for other details

I doubt it looked any better than the "cf" pieces that our car comes with. If you want the CF look, get a real CF dash kit, they're out there.

for 40$... they're stick on's... no way a full cf-wrap would cost that little.

where'd you get $200 for fake cf from? those trim pieces from that old group buy was real cf...and you cant get all those pieces like that anymore unless you have it done special ordered from some company...otherwise all thats out there is the fake stuff

um... rexspeed's cf dash replacements only come with the foglight switch cover and the center dash piece... The setup Retro has is essentially a wrapped cf look of all the dash for the most part... If you're just going for looks and don't mind some minor touch up Retro's is the way to go...

Yes they are, its a 1-2mm thick piece of dry carbon fiber that lays ON TOP of your existing dash trim. It's held together by 3m double sided tape
