Default RK Sport Carbon Fiber Kit

I just got hold of this kit and it appears to be overlays for the stock pieces. What's the best way to attach them. Those with the kit please chime in.

Thanks

what in the world does HP and their turbo kits have to do with Mcmillion's carbon fiber kit?

That's why I asked what HP meant. How do we go from asking about mounting Carbon Fiber to talking about turbo kits.

I'm learning that, the "......soon" in my sig has went from 3 months to 3 years. I'm patient, this gives me time to work on appearance mods, like the Carbon Fiber parts in my thread

Thanks kraaazymike, anyone with the kit have any input

mcmillion....can you post pics of the kit?.......is it the full overlay?, or the smaller cut out pieces?.......

if it's the full kit, they should have sent a funky German cement glue with it to stick it down.....

When you attach the CF it should already have an adhesive on it. Try heating it up with a blow dryer or a heat gun to make them attach better. Thats my 2 cents.

I don't think so, not if it's true carbon fiber. If it's the crappy vinyl carbon fiber look a like it may have an adhesive on it but not if it's real carbon fiber material made from a mold.

It works for me, Oh well. These are hard molded pieces, they could pass as replacements, but no clips or anything, to attach to the dash. Just need opinions on the best way to stick them to my stock pieces.

Cement glue or double sided tape, although the tape might make it stick up off of the piece too much.......

what color is the Carbon Fiber overall??.......Black/Silver....or Greenish/Gold?......

can you repost the pics?.......tinypics.com will free host it for you
