Not sure if it includes the entire centre console, but it might be worth emailing the guy about it..

bloody stickers again....

been covered a milion times

ah, kk nevermind then

i rather save up and get them properly dipped....got quoted 6mths ago for $550 to dip the whole set...

So they're just stickers no actual mouldings? If so thats borderline false advertising.

i guess so... they don't really look like stickers though, but meh... not worth taking the chance..

they're defenitely stickers... laser cut self adhesive

Theyll most likely peel at the edges in a few months and will have joins in nasty places and wont fit really well in other spots (at least the set I bought was like that). Save up and get them dipped!

aye, I'll be getting mine dipped.. not sure what colour yet, maybe just polished silver..

then just get them painted properly (undercoat, paint, sealer)
as far as i understand it... dipping is only for if u want the funky contours though them right?

I got woodgrain on the set I got done, but you can get Carbon Fibre in various colours/patterns as well:

As an aside if anyone wants a set of woodgrain coated ones, I want to sell mine as the brown doesnt go with the bright blue on my new GPvR's seats. Looked great on my old GPX though.

Nah, dipping is apparently way superior to spray painting for plastic parts, more durability, better finish etc ... paint cracks & peels - dipped can bend (to an extent) without cracking or flaking & its hard to get a silver paint that pops like true chrome..
& i'll have to check out the colours & finishes I can get ... don't want anything too crazy or tacky, just something simple & classy that is gonna match the rest of the interior..

Look at the link I posted above. Thatll give you some of the patterns available. I want to do another set in carbon fibre (to match my seats).

There's also these guys: http://www.modicoat.com/index.htm

Cannot say they're good/bad though as I have had no dealings with them, as stated in previous posts... I'm still holding out for cow hide dip.

I'd allmost ponder it but ugh taking everything off meh...
