Real carbon fiber dash kit

Just put in my dash kit today. It is made of real carbon fiber. I bought it from a local auto trim place. The company makes and cuts the pieces right there, most of the kits you see around come from this place. Also, I think RMR sells a similar kit, but this kit comes with a lot more pieces. It is usually about $320, but I got a discount to about $275.

I also got rear pieces for the door, cupholders, and ashtray. They accidentally cut a manual shifter piece instaed of auto for me, so I gotta take it back Monday and have them cut a new piece. Very easy to do, just time consuming. With so many pieces I did it from 10:30am-12:30pm (2hrs).

Sorry to break it to you but that's not real CF. Those are just sticker overlays. They look pretty decent but IMO i think you did a lil too many peices. But that's just what I think... if you like it, all the power to u.

Yes they are sticker overlays, but are made from real carbon fiber.

I think people would be more excited if they make REAL part replacement out of CF rather than just sticker overlays. Stickers look a lil tacky in my opinion, i'd much rather get my dash painted

They would get instant customers for that if they did.

Well like I said, I think Cerious Performance will be doing cf replacement pieces, starting with the arm rest piece... I'll get some info from them, and request them to make more pieces...

yeah they might be real CF but they still arent replacements. they are just cover ups. i dont think ppl here like cover ups. still looks nice, adds a real slick look to the car.
