i haven't got it yet i will arrive next thuesday, i ordered the silver wire carbon fiber dash kit. with coupon? only 180 dollars NOW that is cheap. they have a variety of choices and colors you can pick from!

also u get 34 pieces instead of just 7 pieces from ebay... i thought ebay stuff was suppose to be cheap..
Are those overlays or whole new pieces? That seems pretty cheap. You definitely need to post pictures when it comes in.

Well, what did you expect? Real CF pieces don't come cheap - anyone telling you different is trying to scam you.

Wow... They look like plastic.

Thanks for giving members the heads-up and showing the quality (or lack of it).

They look really terrible! You usually get what you pay for. Nonetheless, thanks for the heads up, saved a lot of members from going down the same road you did.

haha your welcome they have already sent me a RMA form, they are going to be returned soon.

another heads up: these are not 100% exact fit also, so if anyone decided to go with them anyways, well now you know they wont cover your old trim completely

That's disappointing, especially if they aren't an exact fit. Hopefully someone will find a happy medium between this option and paying 4 figures. Perhaps the answer is just to wrap it.

"Wow" is right. Those pieces are hideous, lol. Thanks for the warning. Now someone should try those eBay overlays and see what's up.
