Carbon Fiber Dash Kits
 

I've seen a couple post these kits installed on everything except our 370z. Here are pictures of my carbon kit installed for future references. It's a hate it or love it type deal.

Looks good. Some of those pieces I haven't seen done before. Who did the work?

I'm wondering the same, looks pretty sweet

Not one problem up to date. Excellent quality. Remin makes them in various carbon fiber colors. I oredered yhrough carid.com. I will warn you, they took about two mknths for it to come In. It was worth the wait though.

Not bad at all. What did it run? Carbon signal wants $500 for their carbon fiber kit and Evor wants about $900 for their carbon fiber kit. Which I found to be ridiculous and did not offer it in any other colors.

just so everyone knows this is not real carbon fiber. this is a stick on overlay that gives the appearance of whatever it is replicating. it is a flexable plastic sticker of sorts. does not look bad but is not to be compared with the stuff that carbon fiber element and carbon signal does. so dont try to compare apples to oranges. :tup:

I just checked it out for myself. It’s a steal over the vendors.
$101.40 with free shipping will get you the main kit seen here REMIN® - Main Kit - 2011 Nissan 370Z Dash Kit. Lots of colors, layouts and carbon fibers to choose from. $27.30 will get you the exterior kit seen here REMIN® - Exterior Kit - 2011 Nissan 370Z Exterior Trim. The exterior kit im not to fond of looks a lil cheezy but posted it regardless.

There’s is a stick on overlay to isn’t it? What makes theirs so real?

this is true then again its all for looks so why pay more

If these look just as good as their counterpart that is

Those pieces from carbon fiber element and such are made from real carbon fiber. most pieces are wrapped . the ones from carbon signal are a slip on so if you decide to take it off later down the road you can with out tearing it up. But they are made with real carbon fiber. These stick on dash kits are just a sticker like I said. I actually have this in my car but only used certain pieces just to accent certain areas otherwise it would look to ricey IMHO. (I also have the carbon signal pieces and pieces from Carbon fiber element as well so I know the differences here) To each his own but it is like the stick on vents you can buy at pepboys. you pay more for putting real vents in your car or you can stick it on. which one looks better to you? Your call. Just putting the facts out there.

that whole kit looks awesome. for the price it seems like a good deal. :tup:

RE- read my post above.

If it looks just as GOOD, like i said. Why pay more. Obviously if these look tacky and cheesy of course we'd pay more for the real thing.

SINCE you have both, do the forum a favor and take a side by side of things.

You'd be more help for the people deciding.

:iagree:

Here you go. the sliver is the pieces in question around the radio face. looks ok on a flat service but you cannot get the depth/curvature that you can with carbon fiber that has been molded/wrapped. When I ordered mine they did not have the red carbon fiber so I may order it again to see what it looks like just for the hell of it but as you can see I only used the pieces to cover the black over the radio face. the rest really made the interior look cheap. and just so you know the only pieces that overlap from this kit and what others vendors supply are the door pieces that go around the controls.

I have the same kit from Carid. It's a decent kit and I only used a few pieces, but thinking about replacing with black CF from Carbon Fiber Elements in the future:

This is stuff hs kids did back in the f&f days... If you're doing something, do it right. Leave the fake cf for the fart can honda kids

These kits are legit. They are extremely solid and look really nice. I just cant see myself paying 300$ for a small simple carbon fiber part. If what you want is peace of mind with the real deal go right ahead. If you want the same look for a more reasonable price do what I did. I have had NOTHING but excellent comments/critisicms by people who witness it in person. Not one bad comment up to date. These a are solid and thick overlays with STRONG adhesive that will last you a lifetime if taken care off. Trust me fellas. You WONT be dissapointed with the product. From one man to another. I will be replying to all inboxes. Ask anything and I will try to answer asap. Danny

27.30 would only get you the b pillars. You would still need to add the gas cap and front bumper lip overlays. Thats a seperate charge.

Thanks for the heads up. Not really feelin like the exterior kit.

This kit looks fine to me. I don’t think its bad at all.

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.

i just feel like this screams "i didnt have the money for real cf". honda guys have been doing this trick for 10 years, and imo it looks like an adhesive that someone bought online. it looks good is subjective... this is like 300c guys saying that their cars look like a phantom... yea until you see a real phantom. it will trick the lay person, but ANY real car person will know what they are looking at.

i mean guys.. does this

honestly look like this?

just my :twocents:. probably not needed. i just kinda feel added cf stikers to a $40k car is making it feel so much cheaper than it should feel. hell, i even tried di-noc on an interior piece, but quickly decided to go real cf afterwards because it looked cheap

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

Real talk.

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.

i thought i would just stick my :twocents: in here since everyone is defending the stick on ones so much and hating on kelly tryna show his point.

OP ive had the stick on ones on two of my previous cars. You are correct they did the job, and got me tons of compliments and saved me alota money

if you dont wanna spend 2k on interior pieces then this kit is for you.... But if you want perfection and oem quality CARBON FIBER ELEMENT or CARBON SIGNAL is the way to go :tup:

and to point out the whole argument about carbon signal overlays. They are indeed stuck on BUT they dont have edges because they are molded to the shape of the pieces they cover :D

btw those photos ^^^ were taken with my cellphone :tup: just for your reference

CF looks great! Not a fan of red, but does look quality. I've been dropping all kinds of $$ lately on my Z, and I'll upgrade to full black CF replacement pieces in the new year. Here are some pics I thought I'd share of a Carid CF kit I have on my Lexus IS (it fit very well):

I know exactly what your talking about and I agree. I will get some different angles for you as soon as I get a chance.

Your Carbon Fiber looks amazing. Can't take that away from you. Honestly...I don't even know why I find myself going back and forth about the real carbon fiber with some of you guys. I posted these pictures up because I know there has been several guys asking about the quality and fit of these particular kits. I'm helping out the guys with those questions, this is what this thread was created for nothing else. I thought about getting some red carbon fiber as well. Looks good :tup:

Looks nice! Bet you it made your interior look a whole lot cleaner as well. Good choice :tiphat:

:D i know that you created this for that reason, i can tell your a nice guy through your replies and such.... I just thought id help elaborate on kelly's point because the other guys that replied basically just bashed his point... especially that "o give me the same lightning and camera comment" that interior of the ebrake is mine so i thought id show cell phone pics of my interior with just a plain jane camera :D thats all

It all boils down to what can you afford & what you intend to do with the car.

I can't afford a 6,000.00 interior. Until I can Stickers may be away to get the look on the cheap, but I would much rather tell someone my interior is real CF.

This is a touchy subject for people cause the cost. I'm poor and proud of it, stickers fine for me :tiphat: !!!

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
