^yea, but that's just a fancy vinyl, not really carbon fiber.
you can do carbon on your own too, it's not all that difficult as long as you're willing to try something new.

True, but much cheaper than what newministuff is going to charge. Plus, its not like their option is saving you any weight. They are taking a sheet of carbon fiber and laminating it (glueing) it to the stock parts. Not saving any weight there.

^agreed, but it's just the true look of carbon vs vinyl. the real carbon has some depth to it when you see it in person.
I guess for most people it wouldn't matter though.

So are you planning on doing the air vents on either side of the dash as well?
This looks really impressive... nice work!

Are these the same weave pattern as the JCW CF parts?

Hey,
Looks really good! Nice job
question- how do you get the speedo/airvent rings off? Do they just pop off? I had been wanting to do them black or red, maybe even carbon fiber haha
thankss
