Didn't really "get" these, I'm making them 
I tried to emulate the real is-f interior panels right down to the silver trim. This is my first carbon (texalium) skinning project, and I'm happy with the results so far. Still have to do the center console though, waiting on more epoxy now.

CCJ22...your "Friend" looks HOT!! I was thinking about buying the reflectors off that dude in NY....But mine are smoked. I have a couple things new but not that big a deal I guess. I'll just post a pic of my car for fun! So I'll fold!

Yea, funny you should mention. The rear reflectors that are LED are in the booth as we speak getting fully smoked to match my fully smoked turnsignal mirrors, fully smoked EBAY LED tails, & painted heads...
Black of course

I purchased this kit, and basically followed the directions in the video. A word of warning thought, it's not as easy as the vid makes it seem. Sanding, prepping, epoxying all add lots of time to the process.

I also painted the pieces silver first. As for the silver trim I masked it all by hand.
Start with the least visible piece, the drivers rear switch, and get it all figured out then move on to the other switches.
The best advice I can give is to take your time...these 4 pieces took me about 3 months of part time work.
I re-did the first switch three times. Now that I've got the process down I should be able to do the center console in a week or two depending on how much time I have.
