yah, but at the end if it's done nicely im sure it'll look fine.

i think of CF wrap this way:

Best: real CF bits made from core.

Better: custom wrap with real CF (wat you got).

Good: custom wrap using DiNoc or equivalent simulated CF wrap (wat i have).

Decent: stick-on with real CF but with some form/shape to match contour. (this is the type currently sold here).

Bad: stick-on with no form/shape, just a flat piece of CF. this is the type that looks like crap when applied.

would love to have seen replica setup but its the same reason why we dont offer replicas but rather wrap them...cost of time and mold is too much.
yep, the bulky bubbliness i dont like either but again, if done with taste it should look okay. this is why i went with the simulated CF as it looks fused to the piece and does not appear added-on.

thanks guys and glad to see the good interest, wait for the CS competitive pricing as usual.

@billet370, I appreciate your comments and we are very open to constructive Criticism, it also gives us a chance to give more details about our items. We are planing to post installed pictures and even some video to give a full product feel to potential customers.

I agree with these posts, overlays are cheap looking (If not done properly). But we want to clear here that CarbonSignal CF Kit parts are not plain overlays of CF, but proper parts out of a proper mould. Our three meters, tach meter can be replaced with OEM part if needed just to show the quality, when i was test fitting i even found it somehow hard to remove the cover on top of those three meters. it became almost as one part so i dont think u will need to add any stickers , For the window switches and kick plates yes, you would need to stick them, just because there wasn't that much space for window switches to go in the door, and the clips underneath were too complicated.

What made us do these is many reasons:
- Some items cant be wrapped easily.
- People might end up breaking the Items when they will try to remove them as they have to send it over.
- People have to wait for the parts to get there in the mail, have work done, then mailed back. Time Time Time.. In our case, the parts are made then sent to the customer, NO down time, No driving without interior parts
- When any part of the kit is installed it wont show what's underneath and that was our main aim to provide something with very good coverage and quality.
- We have kept the quality same as any carbon fiber replacement part using two layers along with a base.
- If someone installs the kit, He/she can always have an option of removing or changing these in the future, so keeping this investment secure, people sell cars so at least have the money back. Or change it some other colour or finish.


We don't mind at all if someone prefers wrapping compared to this as for us both are similar items one with loose OEM under it and one with permanently stuck OEM to it. We are offering wrapping locally and also these and both the customers are happy with the results. its just we are giving a new option for the community

These items which we posted are first to be out form the mould and thats what we are doing now, final finish to the mould and then will take one more set out and post full reviews.

B.R
Naj

^^ sounds good. yah, i haven't tried yet, but the hats are hard to wrap with DiNoc, thus my request for ala carte'.
plus they break off rather than unsnap at the paw.

since these are actually molded in the shape of the surfaces i think they will turn out pretty nice.

the tacky flat CF sheets sold at most online stores are the ones to look out for..they turn out like shitola.

I think they will fit and look just fine. Like the mirror and b-pillar covers that many people have and love without any problems.

I was afraid of these type of add ons until I got my door handle over lays, they are perfect! That is why I wouldn't mind picking up a few of these pieces that I feel are not necessary to have wrapped.

I mean, i haven't heard or seen many problems with evo-r's stuff. I small offset with the fang overlay, but you can't see unless you put your head down to the ground right in fron of it. The 1st version of the rear diffuser nice a small tweak to get it prefect. Mirror and b-pilar covers seem to be great, their stuff should be as good if not better.
