Carbon Fiber

I can't find that c/f gauge bezel on ebay...is there something im missing? Can I get one from somewhere else?

Also, I was wondering if that e-brake boot material from aas would work (its the universal, i'd imagine it would, but just thought I'd ask). The boot has a rip and I think i want to replace it

What I'm looking to do, is a c/f bezel, c/f shift knob, and maybe c/f trim (I'm only finding stickers, and I don't really feel like sending my parts to get coated)

Thanks

they dont always have the carbon fiber gauge bezel on ebay. it took me a few months to get my hands on one.

as fa as the c/f trim all you're gonna find is either the real carbon fiber dash kit(including the doors) or the fake c/f kit but they're all stick on. i havent found anyone who actually coats them yet.

so good luck and if you find them, let me know bro.

RKSport might have some of the stuff you're looking for. At least the shift knob. The Bezel I've only seen on eBay.

As for the e-brake boot. I bought a CF one on ebay with a handle. I pulled off the CF boot and put it on my stock shifter. Worked pretty good and it was $10.

Use the search button, I posted a how to on it and you can see the pics there

so i emailed speedhut, and they were pretty quick to respond....only a day...
so all i had to do was order there stainless bezel and in the comments put that i wanted it to be c/f and its the same price too which is nice.
so thats the first of several parts im gathering to spend a day or two on my interior.(shift knob will probably be next,then the e-brake boot, h/u, door speakers and carpet)

I'm just gonna get the one for the e-brake.....though putting one on the shifter itself probably wouldn't be a bad idea...

Hmm, theres a C/F dash trim kit? thats interesting.

On Ebay?

Edit: Nevermind, I found it. I found a problem though, since I dont have power windows or mirror, and I also dont have foglights and I dont have a 4 doors, do they have kits that take this in consideration?

some on ebay are real, others you can buy from various places. it's real CF, but it's all stick on, not sure how well that works/looks on our very rounded interior pieces

some of the dash kits that they sell, have covers for the foglight switch and for the power window holes. you just have to look carefully and/or contact them and ask if their product comes with the covers.
