Do a goole search for "camaro carbon fiber dash trim" and you'll get over 5000 results. Take your pick, most of the kits run around $100, unless you want honest-to-God carbon fiber. Then you are around $250.

I just cant decide. Sometimes I like the c/f look and sometimes I dont. I like the billit aluminum but it can be too flashy sometimes. Who knows.

Here ya go.......RKSports molded Carbon Fiber kit, priced at $600, I bought it on sale for $450......door sills were extra.....








the center console is another story, they were out of the piece at the time I bought the kit, so I was sent one from a new set when they came in from back order, these are made in Italy, problem was, the color wasn't the right match, to much "gold" color in the resin, the mix was different........so now I'm getting a "custom' one done for me, I'll update when I get it......

The steering wheel cover didnt have a good feel to it. So he took it off. He has it around the place somewhere. But thats the only thing he took off. The rest of it he kept. This is not your black & sliver CF kit this is black/blue.

Blue beast:

looks good man, real good!! I'm working with carbon fiber now but I cant get it to look like that yet lol. A few more tries and I'll have it. I'll be making kits for 3rd and 4th gen's also amp racks etc... Your radio bezel is just dern clean lol. $450? It was worth it cause I can tell they vacuum bagged it the right way. If i can get the final coat of gloss to set right It'll look like yours. But how did you get the kit for $450? It costs $600 from RKsport. Anywayz your carbon kit is right and brings your interior out. Once I get the hang of it I'm snatchin my door panels out and doing them too. By Sept all the carbon in my car will be silver for my 2000 and blue for my Z. BTW you dont want to see how my radio bezel came out lol lol.

stangkilla, I had a flyer sent to me that had the kit on sale, but I'm sure if you call, they might still do it........

your right about the vacuum molding, that's how they form the kit, I've done fabric and resin myself and it's not as easy as it sounds, as you probably already know.....
