Question Carbon Fiber Dash Trim

If anyone has a CF Dash trim installed, can you please post pics and advise on how you installed it.

I am talking about a trim like this one:

Thanks,

wow, that looks great. is there a company that sells them outside of ebay?

sorry for hijacking. looks like they would either lay on top of the current piece or replace the glass (or whatever it is) completely.

Dont sweat it jon,
I think if you click on the buyer on ebay you can get his store info.

Either way I think I am interested in buying it, I am just curious to know if members have done this install already or have pics...there is nothing on the install forums, but I figured it couldnt hurt to ask.

CF GAUGE BEZEL
i baught that same one but i sold it (no reason, just needed extra cash). it's just a tape on that you stick on the gauge bezel, the carbon fiber looks good and looks real, i'm not sure if it is. its a cool item, i bet it would look good installed. i sold it to my friend but he had a problem taking off the bezel so he didn't installed it, i'm sure if someone told him how he would install it and take pics. his AIM is vicious kickz.

I bought that one too, but it's too damn cold to install it up here in CT...I have to wait until it warms up a bit. In the mean time I ordered a CF Cubby Hole cover from RRM (for switches) and I am pondering purchasing the CF Dash trim (for behind the steering wheel) I just have no idea how to get behind the clear plastic!
Help!
