I'd be up for one.. previous owner blacked out my emblem like the look, but CF would be cool too

I was just pointing out that the Chev emblem is no different if it's flipped upside down.


Also, I'll be in for 2 after you post pics

I would like the steering wheel bezels if you ever make them. I overlaid all my trim with real cf rather than vinyl cause I like the look much better. I did the same on the steering bezels but the size grows too much and makes the buttons lower than the bezel. I ended up buying new bezels and painting them black because of it but would much prefer cf.
Thought about doing it myself but can't see a way of doing it with anything less than a three part mold and I didnt want to put that much effort into it

Seems like the whole thing is CF were as we remove the gold peice and use the molded bowtie in its place. I didnt read thread so maybe thats what your doing. If so props. Ive sold about 100 or so on these forums. People love them besides like 2 . There real CF despite what others say.

Here are ours



Im assuming this is the "Gray" people are talking about. Hard to tell in the pictures but its daytime at like 12pm.. lol that and cell phone dont make good pictures

I think you guys should use that last picture for the one on ur website. The picture you have now looks like it's just the 3m sticker. The rain picture above clearly shows it's real carbon fiber.
