im kinda tempted by the cf lookalike kit.. i was gonna paint all those pieces red, but this saves me the effort of pulling my whole dash apart since they just attach on top haha

anyone got/seen these before? does it look hot like actual CF or it looks like a cheap imitation?

Looks like very shiny cheap plastic to me.

the end result isn't that bad. 1 melb guys has it done and I thought it looked quite good.

I think it would look good if the FTO dash was a contrasting colour not black..

Dont go there. I have bought a set of these in the past (not from UAS though). They dont fit perfectly and they dont properly bend around the curves and there are joins in rather unfortunate places. Pay the extra and get it done properly - thats what I did - www.dashboardcentre.com.au

the stickers aren't bad value for money if you buy em off eBay...
the eBay kits are cheaper, have more pieces to them and you choose the finish...

not bad value for money if you're after a cheap mod...
try to get a dark colour so the joins in the stickers aren't as obvious

I bought the Ebay ones. They dont fit properly and they do peel in the heat. Maybe im a perfectionist, but I was disappointed.
