There's not very many options for this... It's either buy it new from a dealer for $2000, or try and find a totalled IS-F. I got lucky and scored one from a totalled IS-F.

How much did that run you? Don't you have a IS-F odometer? That means your odometer isn't accurate? How do you fix that?
I seen the CF overlays from ebay in real life. It isn't half bad. To a untrained eye it looks very good..
Im wrapping my wood trim with neffy wrap in a few days. I think it will look a lot better than any overlay and it's a lot cheaper. I'll post some pics when I'm done.
If you wanna get some extra, ill pay you, we can wrap both of ours if you're going to be in athens.
Looking at it, the eBay kit isn't too bad. The pieces actually look molded or contoured to fit the curves. The other kit someboy posted is a flat kit which looks like junk on most new cars. Back in the day, flat laser cut kits were great. Cars had flatter dashes and they were recessed from the dashboard. So you couldn't see the edges. Now cars have multi contoured dashes that a flat kit simply can't fit over and the dashes are more often than not raised up so you can see the edges. That's why if you even looked at the original link, you could see the kit looked like crap. It only covered the flat portions of our dash while leaving quite a bit of plastic exposed. The optimal way to do it now is to simply get the dash wrapped or buy the entire thing from Sewell or whomever. Even the molded overlay kits won't be great (just like body kits never fit perfectly either).
I actually used to own a dash kit manufacturing company but I sold it back in '06 when we couldn't make kits for newer cars right. Although we specialized in aluminum only (actual sheets of aluminum, not the fake plastic faux aluminum you see everywhere) we knew a lot of the shops who made carbon kits and even they admitted newer cars were a problem.
