or wrap it yourself with CF vinyl

they're not vinyl stickers... they're whatever style you get... the carbon fiber is real carbon fiber... the wood is real wood... the only way you got vinyl is if you ordered vinyl... yes it's an overlay, but to get 46 peices that were not overlays, you'd be paying close to 1,000 at least... not 200

it also says on their site that it is PERMANENT and that if you want to take them off you're going to have to get new dash pieces...

instead of bashing, next time research before you buy something.

yes some sets arent vinyl but they are not molded dash kits they are all overlays... i ordered it thinking it would look alot better than it did they only show pictures of the molded dash kits not the overlays .. and actually some of the overlays are peeling off mostly the one on the controls on the door since it is the most used.. i found another site that will wrap your dash trim in CF but is about $500... not worth it better off just painting it

yea, that's pretty much the same thing... except it's $300 more, for about 40 less pieces... how is that different? the only difference is that THEY put the same sticker on, instead of doing it yourself...

Its something you can all do yourself though without a kit all you need is sandpaper, bondo or primer, GM touch up paint, and clearcoat. You get this

Correction on the Gravana dash pieces .....you have to send in your stock dash parts and they spray a black surface , then ARE actually wrapped with carbon fiber strands and then clear coated . Its not just a simple "sticker" or overlay ....hence the higher cost .

the only difference is the application process... real carbon fiber is real carbon fiber...
