Default carbon fiber interior pieces

just wondering where some of you bought your carbon fiber interior pieces from? im having a hard time finding anything. i mainly need the instrument cluster bezel but if i could find an ACTUAL carbon fiber kit that would be great.

Alot of people do it themselves. Just get the carbon fiber vinyl and stuff and clear coat it. Another option if you dont mind spending money is to have it hydro coated with 6LE. It looks sweet!

Emblem Pros can hydro coat your parts. Just mail in the parts you want and they will send it back to you. I think going this route is a lot better than wrapping the stock parts in vinyl. It is a bit pricey though.

The hydrostuff doesnt look like real CF, and is even more RICE than regular CF...

I believe RK sport makes or made some real CF pieces for the camaros


edit: CF vinyl goes into the same category as hydrodip... probably worse.

Emblem Pros is the hydro coater and do a great job.

I can have the stuff wrapped in real CF if you like though.

I will say I don't care for carbon fiber anything,but cobra hunter that looks really nice,I wanted to do mine in a gloss black,these int,look cheap as hell anyway,anything is a big improvment,as far as the wrap goes I would just go with the coating,looks better,cobra I actually like the look man,

I saw a car with a wrap last year and it didn't look anywhere as good as cobrahunters,
