what do you guys think? stupid waste of money, or nice addition to the interior? i actually think that they look nice, especially around the radio and temperature control areas. are they like stickers with sticky stuff on them or like decals, less sticky?

not bad

I don't understand the carbon fiber thing... I mean I understand the strong, light material, but not coating your car in stickers that resemble it. I wouldn't coat my interior with stickers that looked like wood paneling...

That said, I'm not hating. Just not my thing, I guess.

 

[wolo]

Pass.

i know what you mean about the wood. even the plastic wood in lexuses annoys me. it is cheapy looking.

 

[wildpatel]

OMG!

thats gotta be the worst idea ever! IMO. is there really any reason to purchase such a cover up?

 

[moriarty]

hate it.

looks like that cheap vinyl that will shrivel up after being in the sun for a while. PASS

 

[gcue]

at least I tried to be nice

 

[krzy]

I think they should have cut the kit to cover the bevels so they don't look like stickers.

Meh. To each his own.

ah, very good point.

and by the way gcue, don't worry about criticizing them. i didn't make them.

i wasn't going to get them either. i still think they look ok though.

 

[basilisk4]

I have a feeling that in person, they would look much more like the cheap stickers that they are. Ah well, at least the guy is selling them as stickers and at a correspondingly cheap price, instead of trying to pawn them off as something better and selling them for $200...

 

[Kwiksilver]

have a look at these. they are rasied and have the 3D look of carbon fiber. not the worst thing i have ever seen but once again, i wouldn't buy it.

[ycart1201]

i like it a little... it would be cool if you could get it color matched to your exterior...

[Kwiksilver]

but my interior is already color matched. it's silver.

but for everyone else, that would be cool, except the black would blend into the parts that are already black and make the whole interior black....

That second one actually looks like it may be real carbon, now that i don't mind just hope the clear coat is a good grade and doesn't yellow... that damn sun screws up everything

 

[lvnurs9]

That second one is my tC lol. Yes it is real carbon and I think it looks really nice.

 

[liquidbling]

I would take the overlay but I would rather just replace the whole piece with real carbon fiber, but the overlay is alright.
like this
White Benz

 

[Beantowntc]

the 2nd one looks much better. also if your tinted dont worry about the evil sunlight

 

[J&J FlintC]

well as long as you can tint the whole windshield you should be set.................oh wait thats illegal no matter where u live

its not only the sun actually beating on the parts either i have seen some of them wrinkle just from the heat inside the car, it is pretty damn hot down here in FL.

I agree I would definately rather have all new parts actually crafted from carbon fiber let me know when they come out at an affordable price
