If you want press on carbon fiber stickers then spend the 100+ on the "dash kits". After a month or so it'll start to peel off and look tacky.
If you want carbon fiber on your panels then pull the panels out of the car and lay real carbon fiber and resin.
Or, to save some, buy carbon fiber vinyl. Pull the panels and lay that on it. Will look 10 times better then those eBay press on "dash kits".
