The kit was easy to do. I wish the main console which including cup holder and ashtray cover have extra to wrap around. Overall I would give this kit 9 out of 10. 70 bucks compare to the real thing $1300 from Sewell. I would buy it again. Since I used my wood trim to do the dry carbon (black), I should use my silver trim for the dry silver

Preliminary Review (Mixed Feelings)
Good evening (early morning),
Disclaimer: I apologize in advance if this post doesn't make sense and/or it contains tons of grammatical errors; It's early in the morning.
I just received my aerotect carbon fiber overlays. I haven't installed them yet, but I do have some mixed feelings about them.
The attached picture is the top of the overlay for the center console. You can see that the corners are not symmetrical (despite the corners looking symmetrical on the console). Perhaps what's more concerning is that you'll notice the overlay was snagged (during the cut) in the upper right body of the pattern.
I noticed this on one other pattern, but it doesn't appear to happen on every component, so I believe the manufacturing facility is capable of nice symmetrical cuts, so maybe it's just a quality control issue?

Either way, you can give it a shot, as it should still wrap in like it's supposed to, however if it doesn't for some reason we'll replace the part.
Can you send me a pic of the full kit so I can try to make more sense out of it? You can send one to jason[at]aerotect[dot]net
Let me know. No need to worry for everyone else who has these kits on the way. The correct kits have been going out.

Strange Rebs... not sure how that happened... scroll a couple pages back and you can see the full layout of our kit. It should have little v cuts in the corners rather than being round like that. I am wondering if we sent one of our prototype kits by mistake. I just sent out 5 kits yesterday, and the all had the v-cuts I'm describing.

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate the response, and I'm not trying to scare anyone, but I had a few PM's asking me to post a review & up close pictures (even it it was prior to installation).
I did try to install the center piece and it's just not going to work; The corners aren't symmetrical so it isn't a good fit (and I don't see any of the V cuts you are describing). There is also another piece that has the same issue.
Could you send me another kit? My original order number was 1135. I'd like to give it one more shot and be a success story. :-)
I'd be happy to send you additional photos. Do you want pictures of every piece separately? Or just up close pictures of the corners on some pieces?
Thanks again for your time Jason,
Tony

Tony, won't be back to the office until Monday, but I will check everything out then. Strange, as our kit was last modified on the 10th from what I recall, and all orders for this kit were placed after that...
We'll make it right.
