HIRO how is the quality?
Does it look like real carbon?
Is it hard or soft (can you bend it) ?

Its nice to be soft so it goes on the curve very well I think. If its too hard it will really be hard to put it on the curve.
Plus it comes with Alcohol swab to whip off any dirty places and adhesion promoter for the corner (but really I dont know what this is for).
It comes with 3M tape on the back.
By looking at it I think that it will look nice on the car.

Thanks for the info HIRO.
Are you going to use a heat gun? Or just stick it on top of the trim without?

The adhesion promoter is used to enhance the "stickiness" of the 3M tape to its surface. You just wipe the surface (after it's cleaned) with the adhesion promoter, then stick the 3M tape on it and it'll be stronger than regular 3M tape. Good luck!

Guys, the set I ordered arrived today and I will be installing over weekend. I am somewhat surprised at the quality...it is actually pretty good. I tried to take some side profile shots to show how thick the pieces are. They seem thin enough to fit over OEM trim and now cause any issues at all. The actual CF pattern seems decent...I laid it against a CF piece that most members are familiar with as comparison. Anyway, will install and take pics once done.

Here is 9 piece traditional set of CF trim parts that replace OEM. $775.00 is a good price based on what I know of the cost of other vendors

Did some of the installs today. I already has CF trim by DCT so this purchase was to get some of the pieces that are not available in market to see how it would look. Sorry for the poor pictures, but as usual is raining here and not best light to take pics in.
Weather is cold here so I did not install the piece that covers the Command screen top as I am somewhat concerned about fitment of this piece. Although the CF overlays are fairly supple, there is a slight ridge in the center of the command screen top and I am not sure that the piece is thin enough or supple enough to provide exact fitment. Also, looks a little over the top. I will apply heat gun to see if I can make the piece more supple and then do temp install to see if I like it.
I have also not installed the side vents yet. They look ok, but no convinced that I want this look. Did center vent piece and it looks fine with the other parts of center console sections.
I temp installed the interior door hand trim to see if I like it or not. They are not completely flush in pics so fitment will be better. Since this overlay goes over leather I wanted to be absolutely sure about this is look I want before installing. Options on these pieces/looks?
Center Command console pieces went in well and look fine. These were some of the pieces that I really wanted.
I will update once I complete the install with better pics. Overall ok so far.

I looks pretty good. Can you notice that you laid something over the trim? Like on the edges.
Pretty darn good!

OK here is mine. Mine has OEM carbon package so some part is OEM carbon parts.
I like it but now I need carbon stearing wheel and shift *** for sure. Then it will be perfect.

and it looks pretty good with the H73 carbon trim!To olszowa12: I had some reference photo for a Sahara Beige interior with the H73 I can upload for you later. I actually asked the same question a long while back and someone posted them. So if you don't want to wait then do a search with my user name.
