Default carbon door sill trim

something I made for my car as a test,came out good so am going to make the full set next..might not be everyone's preference but I like it these are all the same part,I made 3 versions to see which I preferred.

Looks great! I'm glad you're starting a vendor account with CL!

I'd kill for a set, however, I already purchased the illuminated door sills a while ago (still haven't installed )

When you get things established, you should do something like a custom CF service on existing parts!

I have done many interior overlays but am trying to get away from them lol as they take a long time and can be stressful lol..however could be tempted to do the odd one.

These are from my car that I did a couple of months ago.

Are these overlays or actual replacements? They look to me to be actual replacements and the quality looks great! I would interested in some piano black ones if/when you get established.

They are overlays,carbon bonded to the stock parts.Piano black as in having your piano black overlayed with carbon yes? not a problem.
