    Re: Carbon fiber headlight trim

    I can make those out of real CF, those would be super easy to do....

    I'd just need the original trim pieces to cover and clearcoat.

    That's something I could do pretty easy since I have all the stuff here needed to do that lil job

    That decal looks pretty convincing in pics, but in real life, you dont have that great 90* light reflection flop as you change perspective. Most people wouldnt notice though unless you were a connoisseur like ourselves lol.

    Re: Carbon fiber headlight trim

    That must be a single layer of real carbon fiber made into a sticker? It looks good, I'm going to try that on my odometer bezel thingy. That's about all it would be good for in my opinion.

    Nah it's just vinyl made to be almost black, with silver-ish looking dash marks painted on to give the effect of the reflection on the strands. It's what we in the RC Airplane hobby would call, "stand off scale" because it looks real if you stand off a ways to look at it.

    Nice or rice?

    If you can't tell it's fake, then it ain't rice. Oh wait, real CF headlight trim would still be rice. Oh well, it still looks good

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    For some reason I though the needles did light up, or are those not original? I gotta look at my guage pics and see lol, I cant remember what they looked like.
