LoL, for a little cover? and not the real thing? that's why I think it's a little pricey. if it was the real thing I'd think it was a steal.

Yes, the eBay link is an overlay/sticker, but it does look pretty good. It's essentially real CF (with the gloss look and everything), with an adhesive backing. You can only tell it's not the real deal when you look at the edges.

Keep in mind that the newer black/dark green wood trim will not work in '06-'08 cars without some modification because the button layout on the driver's side is different.
