i've got the "carbon-fiber" dash strip, and it matches *nothing* else on or in the car

anyone like that look and have a black strip they wanna trade? i'd go silver as well, to match other misc. silver color interior parts, but would much rather have the black.

good luck i was looking for one of these for like 5 months...i ended up trading for a red one...

 

[keleko_]

a single red piece on the interior wouldn't match anything else either

:?

i ended up buyin a black one from bagman. like jd said, good luck. BTW if anyone wants a fake cf one, it's sitting around....

[knux11]

it's 59 bucks man. list is only 69 or 72 or something like that, my receipt says so. bagman1 is a dealership parts seller. just pm him. and there's no way painting it will look like the stock one, that thing is soooooooo shiny.

 

[keleko_]

ehhhhhh, still 59 bucks i don't have to spend if someone wants to trade

yes, yes i am. Are you doubting the shininess of the stock black piece?!?!?!

Yeah, just paint one yourself. I pained mine a crazy purple/blue..... but you can apply this to black as well.  The key is to sand between coat layers to make sure that the final color coats are smoooooth.  The clear-coat can only do so much to remove subtle imperfections.  You can get 800 grit from wal-mart... it just takes a bit extra time to sand.
