Unfortunately, the kit is genuine Carbon Fiber, so it will be pricey.

In due time, someone will make "fake" carbon fiber (there is already ones made of fake wood and the such), and it will be much cheaper.

One bit of advice: make sure it's done well, or else it will look exactly like what it truly is: stickers on your dash...

Yeah. Currently, the wood trim costs $1500 if you need replacements!!!

I can only imagine how much the OEM CF pieces will cost (and even if they'll fit?).

Yea I thought about it too, but just couldnt do it for that price. Personally I just dont think a CF kit is worth 350 bucks. CF isnt that much per foot, and clear resin is very cheap. Some double sided sticky tape and youre done. Oh well, perhaps it will drop in price someday.

Those are not fully carbon fiber, its a fiberglass wrapped in cf. Real carbon fiber will cost way more.
