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

well i have a question about cf also .....I have seen a few people at work that have cf... the deal is it looks like its hmmm has sun spots or just weather worn... does that happen to all exterior cf or is that from them just not taking care of it ?

I'm gonna get the shifter from aas, i hope it looks like the one pictured, it looks like the stocker only c/f
and i did abuse the search and i know theres a how-to on replacing the boot but i'll be dammed if i can find it
but i'll try those places everyone else mentioned

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)

sweet, lemme know how the boot(s) work out, i might be getting one
Vinman

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...
now to find the how-to on putting in the bezel..(if one exisits, if not i'll just wing-it)

hey thanks for the how-to...wish there were some pics, but i know you've done this already and its kinda point less to take it apart and do it again....I'll put some up when i do this and maybe you can add them

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.
