Heres some pic of what it should look like.




3rd ones looks like fake CF contact paper (like flip had on his gas door)

1st might actually be legitimate CF

Yeah a few of those are actually custom molded carbon fiber, like the Audi for instance. I'm doubting that the stick on stuff will look anything like that

There is no way in hell, with CF prices the way they are, that you're going to get all of that for 162 bucks. Not genuine carbon fiber, and will look tacky and dumb
Why not? First off, even though everyone in the Civic world believes CF is expensive, it's not. There is no shortage, and prices outside the car market are just as cheap as ever. Second, making that kit, out of CF isn't going to cost the manufacturer anything, maybe 40 bucks. There's no reason it wouldn't be genuine, especially since there is a less expensive fake kit available.
Don't talk down to me like I'm blowing smoke out of my ***. I know about "the shortage" rumor and that is not what I was implying. At any rate, Carbon Fiber is far from "cheap." I would LOVE to see someone install this on their car, and post pictures 6 months later. I'm sure it'll look just as good as a real custom CF dash..[:@]


How is it NOT a sticker?! Its a flimsy piece of carbon fiber with 3m double sided tape? tacky


But, go ahead and do it, it's your car.
Never said he should, I never said it would look good. I just said there's no reason it can't be real.

The first one is from the actual site, the rest are ones I just found. I'm not sure if there real or not....but I bet it wont look anywhere as good as the audi.
The third one looks like it's that fake carbon.
