You are welcome to get whatever will make you happy/your budget allows. However, comparing vinyl wrap to real carbon is apples to oranges.

Comparing a laminate carbon to a new piece made from carbon is also apples to oranges if any one is going to spend money on a carbonfiber part it should be made from carbon fiber not just throw on carbonfiber laminate over existing part

250 seems pretty steep since you are laminating parts we already have.

i thought you would have made the bezel, maybe a custom mount boost guage, etc interior parts from molds etc out of cf.

A lot of trial and error.

I would think you'd be much better off going to a dedicated composites forum, like this one, rather than asking in a Cadillac forum where few (if any) people have done what you're asking about.

And if this thread is still somewhat alive then I'd jump in and say this is basically what I would like, but for the V1 instead. Front and side splitters. Perhaps a rear valance of some kind like the AtS-V has.






Such a kit would look killer on the V1 imo.
