It appears as if sherwood dash is of the highest quality dash kit maker out there. However, they have no pics of a real carbon fiber dash kit installed in a 94-99 Celica. Does anyone have pics of this kit they could post up here?

Well I went ahead and ordered the Sherwood real carbon fiber dash kit sight unseen. All I could find were pics of fake/synthetic carbon fiber kits and no real c/f. Should arrive in the next week.

Yeah, I'm planning on getting a CF dash trim kit as well.
I did think about CF wrapping everything but that'll take time and work as I'll need the resin and then have to clear coat everything. But do post up pics when u get everything installed to see how it comes out though. |

Hehe, how real is that silver?
 Haha jk, i'm thinkin about goin with a more blacker CF. And what's that thingy on your dash with the wire hangin out, you should rewire it through one of the vents in ur defroster in ur front windshield or go even further and drill a hole right through and hide it. |

But then I removed every part of the kit. But beware, do not use goo gone to take off the adhesive. It messes up the texture on the plastic panels and ended up I had to purchase a new set

hey manphibian does your car not have a/c or a rear defroster? i've never seen those buttons missing b4 the CF looks good though. kinda pricey for my liking though. nvrmnd your rear defroster button is just in a different location. i wonder why they would change it This post has been edited by goferris: Mar 23, 2008 - 12:53 PM --------------------  Call me a traitor!

Rear defroster is on the right, top row.
AC - didn't want it, firstly it's always freezing cold here and secondly, it drains power and wastes fuel

The kits look good, has anyone that's bought one of these, either sprayed them with a tinted clear coat? Ie. Clear with red or clear with blue? Just to accent. Just thinking it would look good imo.
