What exactly do you want. We can make a carbon sticker to cover some of the pieces, but the vinyl that looks like carbon doesn't form to compound curves well, so get me a detailed description of what you want and I'll try to get it done if this is what you're looking for. Let me know.

I would assume that he means that an actual kit to replace each piece of the interior. Like, a black trim piece around the radio instead of a silver one. That's just what I think he means.Inder

A bit off topic, but I would love to see a kit, maybe made of fiberglass with an adhesive on it that would cover the existing pieces completely, instead of the stickers that only cover some of the parts.

Huh, I never even knew those were made. I would want to get a kit that would match either a) the exterior lava color or b) the reflective kit that I have been putting off buying.

I have a carbon fiber overlay kit that I bought from http://www.exoticwooddash.com. The CF has a very nice, realistic look to it. People always ask me if the car came from the factory like that. It uses an excellent 3M adhesive backing. I've had the kit on my Vibe for just over 2 years now and not a single piece has started to peel despite being subjected to temperature ranges from about -5&degF to over 100&degF. The website says that it contains real carboon fiber and I remember it was rather expensive. The site is currently listing the same kit that I got (20 pieces) for $258, but I don't remember off hand what I paid for it back then.

Are those vinyl stick-ons? Also, off topic, but what's up with the test fit body kit? When might ours ship?

Yes it is vinyl, but it has a gel coat. Yes we can do the dash kit in many colors and one piece at a time, but this is more expensive due to waste and shipping.I will post the kit info in that thread so this one does not go astray.

They are made to order so when you are ready they will be made the next day. The gel takes 2 days to dry. Then they will go out. Let me know.

The gel coat makes the vinyl 3-D. The Vibe logos on the outside of the car are similar to the gel coat only about twice as thick. All the emblems can be made with the gel and look like custom factory emblms. The gel makes it also look like an expensive dash kit with real CF or Wood, at much less cost. It gives it a high gloss and very durable finish.We are trying to make sure we can make it to the vibe meet this summer and will make some of these and other stuff to sell if anyone wants. We have to be at the small car bash 2 weeks later and two long trips that close may be costly. We are trying, just not wanting to comit and say we will be there and not be.

Don't mean to hijack but is there a blue dash kit available or just the carbon fiber one? If blue is available do you have any pics?

We have many colors. What color of blue do you need? I will try to get pics. Our crappy camera doesn't make the pics look right, but you can get the color idea, I will try to get pics on monday and have my wife put them on our site. Then I can put them here. I do have some parts done in an Empire Blue. It kind of has a pearl luster and a similar color to psychobroker's dash. Again I will try to get pics up.

Hey Chris, Do you make the overlays for the vents with the gel coat? I'd like to have a set of these to match my dash kit. Let me know and if you do, let me know the price of them.
