Haven't been on in ages but I just recently changed my car to black with carbon fibre Hadn't cleaned car or put back headunit etc but you get the point.

This is the 22 piece kit that costs like $250 off e-bay, some pieces you won't use as it will over complicate things and some pieces require a little alteration which is very fiddly!
It's real carbon fibre you can see the weave and all but it's not very dark so if you're after dark which I was carbon fibre is not the way to go! Just reflects too much light etc and makes my car look a bit cheap and tacky considered changing back to dark woodgrain but can't be arsed!

Yeh, Just like I thought. I'm gonna go with my original plan. I've sprayed the whole interior black....and the plastic panels and centre console i'm having sprayed in a very deep shiny/glossy 2-pac black.
Should look very classy when its done.
Its costing me $100 to have all those bits sprayed...not bad.

Should look sweet. I was tossing up that idea or redoing the wood trim in a lighter finish (kinda orangish-tan) with the woodgrain pattern showing.

Thanks Marc, I'm interested in a close up of the fit and the pattern. Also shots of the Air con vent on drivers side, the bit under dash, a close up of the electric window button panel and PRDNL auto lever bit would be much appreciated. Do you think the colour of the kit does not suit a black interior in person? Thanks mate.

I don't reckon the colour is all that crash hot I'd be going for a new woodgrain personally but that might just be me. will take those photos tomorrow and post them up
