just saw these on ebay while looking around and wondering if anyone has seen these before or even had them.
look kinda nice might buy them as long as noone has bought them and had them turn out to be crap.

I recall people saying that they are a cheap, crappy imitation of carbon fiber. The only good cf overlays I have seen here, are in Ion's car.

the ones im talking about appear to have the speedo numbers and such
on it to cover the plain black face im not talking about the bezel.

ok so i messaged the seller and apparently this is a clear carbon fiber overlay that goes straight on the gauges so the numbers and everything show through while the black background takes on the appearance of carbon fiber. might buy it and see how it looks.

It's imitation carbon fiber. Fake. Not cool. Don't get it.
