Who cares? We're talking about plastic trim-pieces, here...purely aesthetic. Would it really matter if they were complete replacements? Ahh, right...because then they would be so much lighter than stock and be considered a "performance upgrade." :rolleyes:

Tony, the weave in the pic above looks amazing. Quality work. :tup:

Sorry to break your heart but, any overlay be it small or large is worthless. I do not care about the light weight on the interior, but overlay items are worthless pieces.

id be interested in the speedo cover and door switch cover. overlay is fine
for me. i just dont want to see that metalish looking cheezy crap.

i was telling the sales guy at the dealer that the Z's cluster looked like some
cheezy boombox sold at bestbuy. (another way to get invoice. ;) )

Maybe you should read your own thread and my other replies, also I am not that "one guy," there are plenty of us.
How about you become a forum sponsor first, also this is an open forum, if you do not like people expressing their opinions in your threads then do not post them.

I think everyone on here has had decent points. Here is how I look at it

I kind of have a rating system

1 being terrible 10 being great

1-4 is fake carbon fiber (fake anything really) stick on over lay

5-9 is real carbon fiber (or real anything) over lay

10 is real carbon fiber (or real anything ) replacement

Now where exactly a product lies whether it be on those numbers or between them also depends on the quality of the piece and how closely it resembles the piece it is covering/replacing and how well the fitment is on said piece.

however just because you can doesn't mean you should also comes into play

case in point you can cover and or replace just about every part on the mustang with a chrome or billet aluminum something or other :barf:

shumby 10-08-2009 01:50 PM

im taking all of this in...i respect everyones opinion and realize this is an open forum...i will say this and only this and keep doing the work that i am doing...what i do is purely for looks, no weight savings, no added power...if u like the look of CF then maybe i can help some of u...if not then keep it stock...it may be a ricer thing to do but i feel the hundreds of other people with 350's i did work for would think otherwise...that is all...i will still post pics for any that may be interested....and i will become a sponsor if the demand is there....thank you and watch for pics. im not here to start fights and bicker with people.

kenchan 10-08-2009 02:37 PM

Any time someone doesn't like something they call it rice. Whatever don't let it get to you. Looking forward to see some more pics!

my first comment about it being a bad deal was because i didnt realize they were overlays.... that being said i wouldnt have even responded. im sorry but overlays are lame. i thought you were making complete carbon replacements. yes i know they arnt much lighter, its just the principle of it all. i thought you were making mercedes benz "black series" type pieces. actual replacement carbon parts.

i will walk away from this thread now.
