i bought a big piece on ebay for like $45 (was enough to do HVAC panel, light panel, both fuse box covers, pcm cover, battery cover, and have a little left over too, you just gotta plant he cuts so you dont waste any). its so thin that it can be cut with a razor blade. i gave it a nice thick coat of rattle can clear just to make it a little deeper looking, and that helped out a lot. they're held on with double sided 3m tape so they can be taken off anytime.

Carbon Fiber is not for F-bodys they are a Import thing... If anything do silver or do what Chaman did, that looks nice.

actually no. carbon fiber done right looks awesome and all of americans top "super cars" use carbon fiber to help keep weight down. and if you ever look at a Cllaway I think C12..? it looks blue, but get up close to it and its actually totally carbon fiber thats been dyed and the weave is oriented one way so its ahrd to tell and its weight is really low.

The carbon fiber is so over done and most are amature done and look rice IMO. I have seen a lot of silver accented interiors that look really clean though...just dont get carried away.
