They look really nice to me, however they are always going to be as good a sticker can be. I however can do the real thing to where you would be hard pressed to tell that they were not made from pure CF. Way better in my opinion, I know firsthand, I purchased the torasport CF dash kit and it was nice, but extremely cheezy due to the fact they are visably stick ons. I decided I could not "cheech" my FD like that, it had to be custom for me, thats why I learned to do CF.

they look good, but i'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" (unless you can find a helluva deal, of course!)

I've seen them in person, my friend down the street has them. They fit very nice and are very tough. If your door handels look like crap they will make them look respectable again. It is no substitue for real cf though. They don't look as good as it and it doesn't have the 3d effect. For the price I didn't think they were that bad and it adds a little bit of an accent to the car. I prefer the real cf though.

Thanks the info guys! Hey Sonix, can you PM me the price of how much it would be to CF the handles and the triangles? I'm looking for a real dark CF color in lieu of the lighter ones. I don't want it to stand out at all...just make it a real subtle touch but different from the OEMs. Thanks!
