damn, 122? i paid 120 shipped for that piece, the radio bezel, both door handles including window controls, ets button, HVAC controls, shifter knob, the works.

good find man.

you can get other pieces done like that either through niach, or the company you bought the stuff from on ebay.

I WAS gonna get it for 60 plus shipping...but someone decided to get in the way at the last moment.

122 isnt a bad price, when i first looked i thought it was just the shifter section...

Oh and btw, that isnt real carbon fibre, look at the pics close and the material, its carbon fiber vinyl that looks clearcoated or pressed to fit...



bleh or just read the description, it says it there to

[b-spot]

:withstupid:
YOU ARE BIDDING ON A SET OF THREE OEM ALERO DASH PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN OVERLAID WITH A CARBON FIBER GRAPHIC FILM.
THE PARTS ARE WITH A HIGH SOLIDS COVERED WITH A CLEAR COAT FINISH.

good call :rolleyes:

It looks great in person. I've looked into these before, and I even have the parts ready to go out. Honestly, in person, they look just as good as real carbon fiber. They can also do brushed aluminum, wood grain, colored cf, and even camoflauge for guns and stuff.

And, this is the way the majority of car companies produce carbon fiber wood interior trim parts... it is a process that involves using a film, soaked in a vat of weak acid and water. The part is dipped in, picking up the film, and wraps around the part. The part is then clearcoated a few times with automotive grade clearcoat. The final product looks great, and 99.9% of the general population will not know that is isn't real CF.

Its the same poop they used in malibu interiors, and now use in mitsu interiors. It lacks the texture of real cf, but still looks cooler than plain black

everything niach has said is right, i have some, it looks great.

Oooh, ahhh!

looks good man!

I think it would have matched the black/grey interior better, but still looks really good. Whoever made that stuff did a good job.

Hmm...although I do like the cost difference for the printed CF, your pieces look awesome Formula. Those are real CF parts, correct? Or is it just my eyes?

[FormulaNERD]

lets just say, i've never met anyone who hasnt thought they were real. :)

got them from the 2001 Green OSV before it was crushed.
