    That Carbon Fiber looks great on your truck. I have Carbon Fiber that came on my Mustang an I like it. How does that mount? Is it stick on or does it snap in place? Thanks.

    I went and look at the product at Carid and read the installation instructions. That looks easy enough. LOL. I do have another question. What kit or kits did you buy for all the coverage you have? I like what you have done. I sure am attracted to the Birdseye Maple Kit but I don't know if it would look good in a truck. I love Birdseye Maple. Thanks for the help and the pictures. I can't get over how much it changes the truck for the better.

    So did you buy the 68 piece kit with the door kick panel pieces? I emailed b and I and they told me to buy from wood dash .com. Was car id service good? Never used either one of them

    the 68 piece kit is 469 I believe then the steering wheel kit I didn't see the bpillar looks neat as well but did you just put the carbon piece over the matte black tape? And the one you got is the real carbon fiber and has that nice sheen wrap under the clear resin that shifts in the light correct?

    The carbon fiber has a nice clear coat as you can see mines still looks like new even after 5 years. The gas cover and B pillar looks great for being outside in the elements

    FYI Amazon has a cheaper version that’s 1/3 the cost, not sure on the quality tho. I can only speak on what I have and 5years old is still new looking

    what I’m trying to find out is the b and I real carbon fiber the fake look that has grey and black under the clear resin or does it look like the actual carbon weave in the sun? It’s hard to tell in pictures but I’m looking for the actual carbon weave look for almost 1,000 all in. Does the weave kindve shift in the light like actual carbon over lays?

    Ok great it doesn't look cheap or printed on carbon is what I'm saying I guess. Just want to use touches of it on door panels and such to make the sea of plastic a little less prone to scratches and dress it up a bit. And I don't know if it can be returned if the fit and finish isn't premium like they state. I've found very little on this kit but it looked great. Only way to get all the pieces is to buy the big kit. Really appreciate it

    Here is what it looks like after 5 years. I personally think it looks way better than the plastic carbon fiber pieces. This one has a clear plastic coating and for 5 years and still going, I thinks the price is worth or

    So from your picture it looks like a real carbon weave. Are you able to return the kit if fit or finish is off from car id

    I believe you bought the big interior kit from band I do you have any pics of the door panel pieces? The kick panel at the bottom of the door around the handles and the wood grain is what I'm wanting to cover and protect. It seems a lot of tundra owners never did this modification
