A friend and I were installing the carbon fiber applique and he messed up the fitment on one of them. Of course it has to be the fron drivers side so I notice it everytime I get in the car. I called the local dealership and they said that I need to get the whole kit over again ($185), that I cant buy just that one piece. Does anyone know a cheaper place to get the kit or if there is a place to get them indivually? Thanks in advance for the help.

isn't it just carbon fiber vinyl? if so you can just go to any vinyl sign making place and buy some vinyl

it has some thickness to it so its not just a cutout sheet. and i think that carbon fiber can have different weaves to them because it all depends on how it was laid. so i want it to match the other ones I have.

no, they are real CF overlays with a 3-M adhesive backing.
I would check with Paul at allscion.com, allscion here on SL i think. if they can't hook up something special, they are at least a little cheaper than the dealer. When I look at their site, it shows the Carbon Fiber Look, which is the vinyl. Talk to them, the "Carbon Fiber" price code C is the one...

Thanks man, I appretiate the help. I'm going to try to do alittle surgery first. I'm going to peel the CF piece off, cut the 3m adhesive in some spots, and re apply some more 3m adhesive (that I already have from previous projects). I'll let you know if that works or not. Its worth a try to save $100 or so.
