i didnt install it but it looks good, especially witht he cf pillars. Looks like real cf unlike the ___ dash kit

 

 

I did. Don't know if it's the same brand but I'm sure it's the same concept. Its easy but nerve-wracking, IMO. You don't want to have to peel it up and reposition so get it in the right place to start with. Use the applicator pad first if it came with one.

 

You do realize "applique" means sticker, right?

 

Yeah, it means there's a 3M sticker on the back of the CF. It doesn't mean it's CF-look vinyl...

If you want to have the CF laid directly onto your gas door, be my guest. but it's a little more pricey and unless you're real close, will probably not see the difference...

 

yeah its real cf with tape on teh back, not sure the price i had it installed when i bought it. I thinkits 35 or so. In Nebraska anyway.

 

$25 @ Toy dealer. for what it's worth

 

imma remove my vynyl one and get that one instead.. but im debating with the clear gas lid..

 

Yeah the clear door is cool, but a little more involved in the installation process. Squirrel has that one.

I like how it adds some accent to the car. I've also got the door handles, which I think helps tie it in and doesn't look like one little isolated spot. From many angles, they are hardly noticable, but at the right angle, it looks really sweet, IMO. My pillars should be here today, hopefully...



And just for the record, "applique" actually refers to having one material applied over the surface of another, so even having CF hand laid and coated on your gas door would STILL be considered an "applique"...

 

yes, clear is nice, but the PRICE.......

 

i want to see the clear, ive never seen it on here.

 

Here it is from a distance, same effect:

i like that instead. im very weary on stickers on body. makes me nervous

 

As long as its applied well, it'll just protect it, like a clear bra that's not clear. Unless you've peeled your door frames, then you DO have stickers on your car. I just peeled mine and it looks sweet, but the vinyl just protected the paint until now...

 

I got the one from the dealer too.

 

and here is mine from the dealer
