Another member had used that product.

If you have wood trim, make sure you tape the edges with black or silver tape. Otherwise, you can see the wood edges underneath the overlay.

If you have scratches on your wood but you want to get rid of it, a good buff and polish should help. Try Maguire's ScratchX -- it did wonders for several scratches that I've added on the wood...

I want the black CF overlay, I think it would go really well with my cashmere interior.

No, the IS-F interior is nice.

However, overlay quality is severly subpar to OEM quality.

It's highly differentiable.

Believe me I agree, but THAT member didn't seem to like the CF interior And you're probably right about differentiating the 2, that's why I'm going with a different route other than an overlay

I vouch for Passnu2, I was with him when he carefully removed the CF overlays and they are mint. I wanted them for my car, but had to sell it sadly.
