CF interior overlays - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

This is going to be hit or miss with a lot of i know

Got these from CarID.com, 41 piece set for $137.50 shipped. For the price, definitely worth it

these are REAL carbon fiber (i wish i could afford actual replacement trim pieces like INDpwr has

buuut they were out of my price range sadly)

IMO, it may look better if one removed the trim pieces and painted them black prior to adding this CF overlays.

some pieces look a lot better than others, theres about a dozen i didn't even put on (like on the vent blade and such)

enjoy!:

I like it. Very nice and not to expensive. Can they be taken off without damage or a film left behind in the event that you decide you are tired of the look? Congrats on the new look!

Only problem I have with these is that they do not last long. I had a family member that had these installed in there Mercury Cougar and they peel, fade, and crack. Its a nice cheap mod but they just do not last. You are almost better off putting vinyl CF on!!

Thanks, I think it looks great. I am not normally into the overlays. Now, I agree this will not last but at that price once a year replacement it would be worth it.

Oh wow! I thought these were a vinyl type material similar to some the external stripes and gill inserts. That maybe a little more than I would want to pay if they don't last very long. Looks good though but was hoping they would last longer.

I may have the real deal Carbon Fiber overlay done down the road.

Thanks for the commpkiments on the looks guys.

Hopefully they will last a while, I would never get vinyl CF tho, just has no depth.

I'll let everyone know how they hold up. I'm glad I even got the 'approval' of the guy with my ideal interior lol

Looking good!!!

Massman151 · 09-13-2009, 03:03 PM

looks nice, not for me, but really nice

glambert1 · 09-13-2009, 03:28 PM

it looks fine but I think I would only use the steering wheel center and maybe the light switch and other side covers thats it so wouldn't be worth it for me but it looks really nice and does not look fake or cheap and I'm sure they will last a lot longer than a year if your just careful they should last a long time

All you need now is the dash and door trim's CF

CatiaJockey · 09-13-2009, 06:29 PM

only if i can keep my ABL...which is unfortunately the catch

TaylorRyanSS · 09-13-2009, 06:47 PM

looks really good... its a little much though imo, they should sell it piece by piece

PieNsky · 09-13-2009, 07:29 PM

Are there pieces large enough to do the door trim? What needs to be done to make it last longer? Shooting it with clear?
