can u just get certain pieces? some of my parts are painted and adding the carbon fiber to some of the other pieces would look very good.
RKsport may do that. I'd call them and see. It seems like when I was calling them about my order they were basically getting the stuff back one piece at a time and I was waiting a month just for the center console section.

id hav to get him to take some pix....lemme get ahold of a digital and see what i can do...
Please notify me with pics and a way to contact this person, I'm very serious about doing this as well. For $200 that's a steal of a deal, but it makes me question just how nice the stuff is. Shoot me all the pics you can. Much appreciated.

I hope you guys dont think that the $200 kit is the same thing that BluBeast has. His parts are actually wrapped in real CF. It use to cost $900. Its amazing that the price is now down to $475. The $200 kits are applicaes that adhere to the surface. Check out www.exoticwooddash.com to see what I mean. They also offer a core exchange which should be like what BluBeast has.

update:
I took a quick look around www.exoticwooddash.com and cant find the Firebird dash kit. Maybe I missed it (I didn't look to hard). I know they used to carry it.

I'm not offended. I just didn't want anyone to think it was the same thing.

I bought this same kit from RK the center console is GREEN
and once I glued it down I was stuck with it nothing they would do for me.

They acted like they had never even heard of this happening.

Damn, sorry about that, seems the shade of epoxy is getting even worse then, mine is just golden (which still sucks and yea, they won't do anything about it either), no wonder they dropped the price to $399.....

I got my kit in the mail today actually, it was $395 or whatever and 10% off and I must say I can't wait to get it put on. It looks awesome, I will post pics of them off the car in a sec. No discoloriztion so far, I also bought another Nose Badge b/c my old C/F from RK Sport was turning yellow but that was prob. due to the sun and elements b/c it was 2 years old and was perfect for over a year.

Well that looks really good and a nice touch on your car blu. Its even more perfect now . I wonder if the blue version of the carbon fiber would match the navy blue of the car, I think that would turn out pretty cool to...

I recently bought a set from RK SPORT. The kit had a goldish tint that did not match my other Carbon Fiber, so I sent it back. The kit got here within a week of ordering it, but I am still waiting on my return which is going on a month now.

They do not sell the pieces seperate either.

Mine lasted a decent amount of time considering the weather, washing the car, sunlight, etc.
