OLM Dry Carbon Fiber Quality?

Hey everyone,

Curious... anyone know the quality of the OLM Dry Carbon Fiber products?
I was looking and shopping on FT86SpeedFactory saw the OLM products and wondered about their quality and reviews, but couldn't find anything.

Thanks,
- Ranger

I am also curious about the quality. I wanted to get the carbon fiber dash but haven't found anyone who has it.

whoo that is going to be expensive. If your talking about the whole dash piece I don't think that will ever come out and if it did it would be like 3 grand.

I'm guessing he means the 2 piece stereo surround that goes across the dash...

hey guys i have the radio bezel piece's from olm, fit is spot on finish is a nice gloss with very minimal imperfections, product is very thin so its fragile. but if you handle it correcly you wont have any problems, nice thing about it is that it comes with primer for the factory bezel so it sticks very well. im happy with the product.

Wait... so are they actual replacement pieces or just something you tack on to your existing dashboard?...

They sell both. The ones you're looking at are probably stick ons, but they have them listed as "Full replacement" as well. For a lot more money however, better off with the stick ons as they look NO different than the full replacement.

I'm trying to replace my pieces because I have the 2016 starlink radio hole and I want the normal square one so my Metra dash kit actually covers the gap. So buying a tack on material won't help me lol.

Thanks for the clarification.
