38098, Carbon Fiber Dash Trim Posted by BigBald, Jan-08-03 06:04 AM
Anyone on this board have this? I am wondering if it is a sticker, or if these are actual pieces. If someone does have it, can you post some pics or email them to me.

I want o go with something different for this car instead of painting the parts. Thanks in advance.

I have the brushed aluminum kit in my '98 GS. It makes a big difference in your interior styling, especially with neons inside. I'll e-mail you pics because I don't know how to get them on here yet.

i just recently installed a carbon fiber dash trim kit..took me about 1 or 2 hours..it's a sticker but it's pretty thick..and also on curvy parts you put this adhesvie liquid stuff and the sticker will bend on it and flex better..then you heat it with a hair dryer..this way it's guaranteeed not to peel or fall off.. i just washed my car today and i was gonna finally get some pics up..but i drove my friend to a DSM only shop in VA and it got dirty cause of the left over snow..i'll try to take some pics tomorrow of my interior..email me or message me on AOL IM.. later

i just installed my cf dash yesterday. man let me tell u i absolutely love it. i paid a little over $100 for it and its worth every penny. it gives ur interior such an awesome look, changes it completely, and imho looks better than painting everything. i painted my vents and some miscellaneous pieces, and the cf ties everything in so nice. i'll see if i can get some pics up but my digicam is actin weird. but if ur thinkin about it, go for it

Make sure if you get it that you get the one that is made from the real carbon fiber material and not the fake "carbon fiber look". I think the real carbon fiber looks sooooo much better. BoostedGS's is real carbon fiber and you can tell the difference. Just my $.02 -chris b.

Who sells the real thing? I was thinking of getting it from Exotic Wood Dash.

It looks to me that this kit is a bunch of stick ons....Is this true?
The add says "IN NO WAY IS THIS REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR YOUR CAR" does that refeur to it as being stickers? Can someone help out here..I like carbon and my whole car is gonna be that way eventually but I'm not sure about stick on...

38115, RE: Carbon Fiber Dash Trim Posted by BoostedGS, Jan-09-03 11:08 AM
Yes, it's all adhesive. It stays on pretty good though. I've had mine on for 4 years and haven't had any problems with it peeling off.

That's why I've never gotten one. They look too much like an afterthough. Carbon fiber trim looks great, but our car doesn't really have any trim pieces.
