Carbon Fiber Dash ?

Hey guys I wanna get a new look to the interior of my sedan.

I am leaning towards either the Carbon Fiber or Brushed Aluminum Look

Interior colour is Black and Grey So I think either would look good.

Anybody with pic of Carbon Fiber dash ???

Thanx for the help

Handa Accessories sells a carbon fiber look trim kit. They have pics of them installed also.

One thing about carbon fiber you won't see it behind tinted windows only when you & others are inside the car.I went with brushed aluminum,shows up great even behind dark tint and looks BAD A$$ against our graphite interior, and if you don't have tint it'll show up even better.

I got the carbon fiber kit on mine. The brushed aluminum didn't really catch my attention as the carbon did= my decision.

You can see my carbon fiber dash kit in my members ride page. If you go carbon fiber, make sure its real, cuz the fake stuff looks like [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] the coolest part of carbon fiber is the depth, and the fake kits lack that.

Hey everyone,
If you cant tell real carbon from fake, the Honda Manufactured kit is FAKE!!!
Oh yeah, real carbon is just a material like Fabric, so if you look closely you can see fibers, It also looks 3-D and moves with light reflections!
Fake is a computer generated grid with a contour that cant be achieved with real carbon, like on some shifters.
Fake Carbon
Real Carbon
Also dont be fooled by Colored Carbon, red, yellow, blue..... Carbon is only Black and cant be colored, The colored Stuff is Kevlar, Dont try shooting at your car eather.

Later
MadScientist

My spare is gone, I dont need it except maybe on long trips.

And while what madscientist says is true, the colored carbon kits still look good, there is depth to them, well at least the ones that Ive seen, so i wouldnt say stay away from them.
