Well to be honest..You couldn't tell If I didn't tell you they were fake. Even if it is fake....This is a purely cosemtic mod and it doesn't hurt to save $100 here and there....I have a set of Carbon Fiber Caliper stickers too I might put on.

Actually it's VERY easy to tell that those are fake. The pattern is way too fake, and it's not like 3D-ish at all. from a distance it's even worse, from the pic you showed.

They actually have these acrylic carbon fiber sheets. Maybe you want to try those. They are real carbon fiber in very thin sheets. THOSE are absolutely nice. I think you should be able to get those.

Question Carbon Fiber

Hey that looks phat!
Where did u get that and how much did it cost?
Do they make any other Carbon Fiber stuff like that for the rest of the blk. trim around the door because that blk. marks up so easily?

I can totally tell those are fake, you didnt need to tell me.Like Globe said they are one dimensional, not dynamic like REAL carbon fiber. I think all those are gonna do is cheapen the look of your car and make people say "WHY"

i'd like to quote Manaray here if I may "you own a Lexus not a Honda, fix it up ACCORDINGLY"
