Default Faux carbon fiber dash kit

Ok, so I was a little bored with the grey plastic on my dash. I thought I would try a dash kit. Just received today, and I'm on the fence. I should have taken before photos to really be able to decide. Oh well, here are some photos in case anyone else has ever thought about these. I like the carbon fiber look, but the decals are a little glossy.

No, I actually pulled them off already. Couldn't stop thinking how much they just looked like giant stickers. Best part about the prodct, comes off easy and left no residue. Oh well, not the first $50 I've blown.

I thought they looked okay. But seeing them in person is totally different than in pics.

Where you at in Nevada? You should come to some of our mustang meets

It would definitely blend in better with a dark interior. Not bad for $50.

I agree, when I saw the photos online it looked much better. But in person I just could get myself to like it.

I'm in Vegas as well, could you PM me some info on the meets? Thanks.

Doesn't hurt to give it a try! I think the carbon decals would flow better on a black dashboard.
