Ok I have a 04 Spec-V and hated the way the aftermarket stereo kit looked so..... I removed the three main center dash pieces. Glued them together and with a little bit of bondo to smooth it all out and make it look o so beautiful. (pics and how-to will be posted soon if anyone is interested.)

Ok now for the interesting part I would like to get it all wrapped in CF. Does anyone know of a company who can do it? I emailed one already, but they are way steep. $250.00 just to wrap it. I was expexting at the most $150. Since i can get a whole real cf kit for $250.

That price is about right to me. The only way they will be able to get the CF to wrap around all the curves is to vacuum bag it.

And what CF kit can you get for $250?

250 doesn't sound bad actually to get something wrapped in Carbon fiber.

Sherwood makes the stick on CF kits which are pretty nice. i currently work for a company wjo does a lot of cf work, but employees are not allowed to use the material on hand for their own means. It isn't hard to do, at work we figured 70 for materials and at the most 90 for labor. for 250-300 you should be able to make a molded piece of CF.

I don't know but personally I have a strong distaste for the stick on CF trim pieces. You can always tell that they are stuck on there with adhesive and doesn't flow well. That is just my opinion though.
