Dry carbon fiber that matches stock dash

Does anyone make interior pieces that match the stock carbon fiber dash in my 2016 dash. All the kits I see are glossy shiny carbon fiber. This is dry an textured.

I guess I could find a matching wrap but that would require more work.

Good idea, I like a matte finish. Maybe I should sand the entire car surfaces. I’ll keep you updated.

The stock dash isn't carbon. Therefore, no carbon will match it.

I swear I remember photos of the 2016 BRZ dash having like a silver-ish carbon fiber type dash panel.

I think you mean plastic with a pattern on it. Carbon is black.

Right. Carbon fiber type. Not real carbon fiber. I wasn't trying to get hung up on semantics. Just trying to shed light on what he's talking about.

Thanks for your explanation. Yes it’s plastic with a carbon fiber pattern. So yes it’s true there may not be pieces available that match exactly. That’s why I started the thread, maybe someone else knows something close, maybe not. I am thinking a dry carbon could be close.

Plus as you know carbon fiber helps flatten the torque dip and the better it matches the better the torque.
