Thanks liljone. Sorry but those aren't white. The flash made it look like white

Yeah I'm gonna do a how to. But the process is time consuming. Took about two days

Nothing good takes 30mins always take many hours! Detail is everything.

It would be a good how-to once you got the time It a nice looking mod

Real Carbon fiber is not a clear checker board pattern like above. That's the imitation Carbon Fiber. I have that on my phone. I would not waiste my money on that bro.




And to the OP, that is just the ugliest thing I have ever seen in my life. Change it back to stock, or GTFO!









































































hahahahahaha, j/k man. It looks freaking bad ass!

Ha ha. Acually carbon fiber does come in a checkered pattern. It's called a plain weave.

Thanks zach for your awesome compliment.

I'll post pics on wednesday when I finish the whole trim

Those aren't scratches, those are reflections from some stuff I had in my car. There isn't any scratches on it, just small holes were some water droplets fell on it. I wet sanded it with 100, 350, 650, 1000,2000 sand paper. Then I polished

To the OP, the CF look good. The thing is though, it looks like you don't take good care of your car. Looks like paint chips in some spots and scratches all over everything. What are those like wooden beads or bracelet around the shifter?

WTF........ Uh thanks? First off there isn't any scratches. And there is absolutely no paint anywhere near there. I didn't paint anything there. Also yes there's a bracelet, of different saints. What do you care what my car looks like. All I wanted to know was about my cf work. Not how neat my car is. Thanks for the compliment tho
