pm'd ya

does anybody have one on their console or what?

got my dash kit from iggy's gb. the company is new york city dashes www.nycdashes.com [nycdashes.com] The price is around $180. I dont have any pics right now but if i get them soon ill post them.

i have ebay one. was liek 116. it is immitaiotn carbon fiber but so is everyhting else ont he inside of ym car so i wanted it all to match. took aobut a half hour to install. jsut need to take your tiem to line it all up right. once it touches the dash it is stuck on forever

i too got mine from iggy's group buy, install wasnt all that bad and i only paid about 130 for mine. Im not on the right computer right now to post pics but you can see them in my profile.

yeah, definitely make sure you take your time putting it on, and also use lots of heat! i did mine last winter in the garage and put the heat full blast in the car while i did it. you'll want to use a hairdrier to heat up the back of each piece to get them nice and sticky. i tried doing mine a little too quickly and and it is coming up in a few places, but it's nothing too noticeable (so tells me everybody) i know it's there so it bugs me. main thing: just take your time

take your time and don't skip any prep work

so you all got them from GB than

has anyone used this brand?

If so, post pics please

^^^ nope..i don't really trust ebay stuff..don't know if you gettin the real deal or what not. i got mine from the gb also..real carbon fiber

im still waiting for someone to make a real Carbon Fiber center console

yeah it took me a while to install it because i wanted to make sure it was aligned and perfect. just gotta be patient and take your time.

Ok, heres my story. When i first got my celi in sept. of 01, i rushed out to ebay and i bought a brushed aluminum "look" dash kit for $150. i put it on and was happy for a bout 3 months. After a while, it started to yellow from the sun, and it looked real cheap. Then i tried to paint the center console black. That kept me satisfied for a while, until i realized it wasn't as glossy as it should be,, and it just didn't look right. Then i stumbled across acculaser.net and i found a carbon fiber "look" MOLDED dash kit that blew me away. I bought it for around $130, and it F*cking rocks. It looks incredible, way better than those flat ones you use the hairdryer on. (i know, cause thats how my "aluminum" one was.)

If you're looking for a carbon fiber kit, i highly recommend the acculaser one.

P.S. - I didn't mean any disrespect to anyone that has the flat kits.
