Carbon Fiber Dash Kits

fullmonty

I get what you're saying but not for nothing you took a cell pic of the fake stuff and a sex pic of the real stuff. I'm thinking about getting it just for the radio face. I haven't been able to find a real CF one for a non nav touring console, and even still if I end up getting a nav system 6 months from now i'd be out a couple hundred dollars. I'd like to see a better pic of this fake stuff.

Honestly brother, I disagree with you. I dont want you too take offense to what im about to say, but it does give the apperance of real carbon fiber. I have had people tell me it looks amazing! Literally. And I will tell you that if I never told them it was an overlay they would have never known. People asked me where I got the "carbon fiber installed all the time". The difference is I managed to save 1000s of dollars. I never said and agreed on this bieng REAL carbon fiber. But it sure as hell gets the job done. The down side to this kit it it wont "wrap" around into steering wheels etc. Pretty much used for semi curved to flat surfaces. Regardless of your own opinion this product has given me just as much attention as the real deal. You know what, its not the real deal but products like this do exist and do work. I have no regret with the outcome. Sorry to say, but i had a feeling people with the real deal and several thousands later would take offense to thers good critisicm of these pictures. I wouldnt decieve anybody about that outcome. Its just as good looking. I respect your decision and real carbon fiber looks amazing but its a complete rip off in my own mind. If you like it you like it. If you dont then you dont. I have had awesome criticism in person. I have the money for real carvon fiber. Its just not worth my time and spending. My own opinion. Danny.

Let me know if yo want another angle and ill take a picture for you as soon as possible.

If its not to much trouble, I'd like to get a better look at it. Maybe it will change some peoples opinions. What gets me is all the people hating on this but 2 years ago everybody was going out and wrapping everything with 3M DiNoc fake carbon fiber.

Though I don't care for the CF trend, I don't see why you should pay for "real" cf if its just an overlay and looks the same as this. It's not like you're saving weight on your dash

real CF is not an overlay. That is the point that I have tried to make here. real carbon fiber is just like fiberglass. you mold it, clear it etc. This kit is a simulated sticker. it does not give the appearance of real carbon fiber. everyone is so bent about the price and refuses to listen to what others are trying to say here. simple fact is if you like it then go for it. simple as that. I paid for the real deal because you can tell a difference in feel and sight and when I did go the sticker route at first before anyone started producing a quality product I had this kit. and from my experience there are only certain pieces that look good enough to go on my car the rest went to the trash. At the end of the day it is each persons decision what they put on their car. All I have tried to do here is give people a honest opinion on this and allow them to make a decision. I jsut hope those those serious about wanting to know the facts actually read the comments of those that have the products and not take someones opinion that does not know the differences. now I am done trying to help on this thread so carry on.

Well it could... if you used the same camera, camera angle, and lighting...
Don't knock it until you've tried it.

One thing I hate about the stickers is the rounded appearance that it gives the pieces. I have been playing with Di Noc and its pretty cool I like how thin it is so it doesnt give that real round appearance. Of course if money were no object I would rather do the real stuff but Di Noc is about 90% of real
