There is another product out there called Hayame. GSoup turned me on to this, it is a real carbon fiber film with an adhesive backing, that comes in various sizes and thickness of .1mm, .2mm. It's imported directly from Japan, and cheaper than the above product listed.

Thanks, ChuH. It's hard to beat the look of either a GOOD wood-panel or carbon-fiber job. Either one can be stunning if done well.

Some of those CF kits don't come with a clear coat finish. You will have to make sure that it specifiesthe finish.

GSoup gave me the website he bought it from, and after some froogling and eBaying, it turns out that this website is indeed the cheapest vendor.

http://corksport.com/store/category/...ody_Dress.html --It's the second to last product listing on the page.

I'm planning on buying some stuff and putting it over the exterior B pillars, and the entire wood grain in my SC interior (door panels and glove box area/center vents), as well as covering the shifter/stereo/climate units with the carbon fiber film Here's a SMALL picture of what I'm talking about, It's already got the film on it but its hard to see. I couldn't find any other pictures



Of course I would also make that center console bezel/trim there black to keep the dark flow.
