New carbon fiber painted trim pieces

Just installed these babies! Damn they came out good! I'll be sending them the top of my center console and the window control trims/inserts...and it'll be all good. Not sure if I want to do the speedo bezel also.

I'll be sending in just the upper portion of the center console - that supports the shift boot; just a couple of bolts and it's off.

Not sure what type of graphic it is; from the back side it kind looks like "carbon fiber overspray". Anyway, it definitely not those ghetto stick on pieces - $100 for 14 decals.

Actually it most likely is paint. They use a mesh over the surface after it has the base coat, wrap it, spray it, go over with a translucent black, then clear.

I paid $30 for each vent and $80 for the radio bezel, then like $45 to have then ship them back to me when finished.

looks great, it could be either ive seen both done, also i dont think hydographics would have any depth to them like the peices apear to have, which is what the translucent black would do.
