LOL, I knew someone would try to pop this ignorant comment in here.

I could care less if its a material I used to wrap it & not true CF. I also saved TONS of cash for other more important mods all while making my interior look better. For those who dont care for the CF look, to each their own. Like myself, I prefer the dry CF look over the traditional "wet" CF look.

I personally think this will look very nice mixed with the rest of my interior being wrapped in black leather & stainless accents. And I'd guarentee you the majority of people who see my finished interior will think it looks exceptional as well.

Now I would agree with you if this was shiney vinyl with printed pattern on it, but this material is a completely different animal & the weave on it is as close as you'll ever get to true CF without spending the cash on true CF.

I don't see the point of this comment. Is it shiny and a stick on?

This material is actually worth every penny he spent on it and will definitely come out nice.



Here it is compared to real carbon fiber.

Thanks. Just got done doing the dash cover. Never will do that again.
I'll have to get a better pic tomorrow.
