Talking Just put in the Carbon Fiber Dash Kit!!!

I finally did it! I tried the cheesy sticker dash kit and it looked like crap. I complained and then they sent me the thicker carbon fiber dash kit just for a few extra bucks! I recommend them if you want to spruce up you interior.

i think i would like the look better if only the factory trim areas were covered over. the glove box area & instr pod seems a bit much imo.

not bad though... i like the carbon look... thanks for sharing the pics~

It looks like he has green interior lights installed, if so it could turn them on.

Where did you score that? I'd prefer a different color > like blk or a dark grey.

That is my hover function button. I flip it and the car hovers like off of back to the future. No...wait...it's my fog light switch. I installed them behind the lower mesh grilles.

I wired the LEDS into the dome light switch. Check my thread on GREEN LEDS.

I don't care for carbon fiber anything on cars, especially the stick on kind.

I would like to see someone make an engine turned stainless steel cover for the center divider or replace the plastic entirely, would look very nice to replace the gauges with jeweled surfaces also.

Like Maxwell, I don't much care for the look of carbon fiber in or on the car. It's just too busy looking for my taste. But, to each, his/her own. That's just MY opinion for MY car.

I like it! Who did you get it from. I am thinking of doing the same.

I actually took out the carbon fiber stuff. After a few months they started to yellow and then looked like crap. Don't waste your $ on that stuff.

No offense, Gwetoe, but I agree with MrPhotoman. These cars don't look right with carbon fiber all over them. The stock interior looks better (IMO) than any of the mods I've seen people do.

Heck, the stock interior looks better than most other car interiors I've ridden in. It doesn't need "spruced up". Of course, it's no competition against some of the craziness you see at SEMA, but that's not what most people can afford to do to their daily drivers.

Nice job. Be prepared for support and ridicule. But remember ENJOY YOUR car and express yourself.

That is why I went the CF overlay route. Looks as good today as it did 1 1/2 years ago when I first did it. I had a choice of colors but went with the black over only the console items. A little more money and inconvenience of the parts gone for 3 weeks, but it looks good.
