Carbon Fiber dash like a BMW? (pictures of M3 carbon fiber interior included)

Then some areas are very nice and cover everything fully, which I like. (Around the knobs, the window controls, the cluster.

But for under $300 it's not bad. I would happily pay an extra $200 if they fixed the pieces I talked about and at least fully covered the panels.

Also, it looks like some pieces are missing, or you didn't install them yet? Like the round air vents and door handle?

Thanks for you honest comment, and I kind of agree with some of it so mods will be made.

I got that CF trim kit pictured above, but figured some of it would look out of place so i just got the parts surrounding the three hvac dials and the window switches

Carid usually has quite a few kits, i think anywhere that it's a really thin strip it looks kinda cheap. The bigger pieces are ok but the thin strip on the gauge hood and steering wheel don't look right.

Can you order just these parts? I think the cheapest looking part of the FR-S dash is the hvac dial surround. I'd like to wrap or something but the texture of the plastic looks like it would get in the way.

HI,

Are this vinyl or overlay?

Thanks.

HI,

Could you take one more picture which close to the door speaker?

I am interested in to see how will fit between the low bottom door stripe

to the door speaker.

Thanks a lot.

Could you share the pictures after installing?

Thanks.

IMO i think the glossy carbon fiber look can only look good in a car with better interior. To have glossy CF parts in a car with 2004 Corolla knobs and buttons doesn't look right.

I already took them off. Ultimately I wasn't too happy with the look.

they were made our of one sheet of CF and then some sort og thick jell coat over top. so thick to the point where the edges were rounded. the jell coat was soft too where you could depress your fingernail into it.

I think they could have acomplished the CF look better with real CF pieces made the real way with apoxy.

I saw someone on here did the same thing with the 3M vinyl and it worked out surprisingly well, he did the steering wheel trim, heater vents, and the shifter surround if I recall correctly.

I like this approach, done by doggy:





The faux carbon trim on the dash is just vinyl and comes off, in case anyone didn't know...

That looks amazing! Is there any way that you can provide instructions? It looks way better than regular carbon fiber vinyl wrap

Because he is wrapping it with REAL carbon fiber not a shitty decal.
