Hooray CF -) I'll find you pics in a minute. He got the seat belt guides and the rim of the cup holder/coin thing in the centre console done. This was oversea's. He originally took a whole bunch of parts over (door cups etc.) but it was going to cost a rediculous amount of money so he only got two things done.

The quality is amazing, very strong finish, looks f**king sweet.

I'll swap anyone here my CF coated seat belt guides for a mint condition stereo and gear surround and their seat belt guides.

Dstocks had his interior coated in a woodgrain looking overlay in Melbourne for roughly $700 I think. He mentioned that CF is another option at the same price.

Go find the thread about it, it's called "What do you think?"

Yeah it looked pretty good. Costs a bit, but in CF I reckon i'd be very much worth the extra over a sh*tty stick on thing.

I'm a bit concerned that they'd want more then 700 to do it in CF though.

I've actually send those guys a email, & they said CF & woodgrain cost the same. So $700 for CF almost everything.

Hmmm, forgive me if I seem somewhat skeptical. Like weave glue weave glue weave clearcoat or sticking on a CF *like* film?

For 700 i'd be tempted :) But I still need a new centre console stereo and gear surround :( f**king *~delightful!~*.

urs look like a proper overlay scarecrow and bloody good job as well, whats available from dashboard centre is like a film coating thing. looks real but isnt the real thing. take a look at their sample pics on their site. u can tell the difference . its a dip in process. freddy can do the overlays for me but hes kinda scared to do them as he hasnt perfected the technique as yet. wanna swap me your belt guides scarecrow? :twisted:
