Carbon Fiber Trim

I bought a G37 IPL last week and im itching to add a few personal touches to it :]

So far I've limo tinted it and what im looking forward to is adding a carbon fiber trim to it ...

I've been looking around and Carid.com had a lottttt of trims but when i called the guy from the dealer he said that the kit is rough and doesn't fit well and I was wondering if anybody had any personal experience with the website....

This guy wants to charge me 695 for ordering the parts personally from another vender and installation ...
^ imitation carbon fiber

Waiting on an email with the pictures so i can post them and get some feedback but until then ... do you think 695 is reasonable?

.. a full kit is like 250 ( Real carbon fiber ) and from what i hear the kit is basically DIY

Wait, $695 for imitation CF trim?? I'd say Fock that! If you've got time and patience, install isn't that hard.

If you've got the cash then go with IGT. they offer the best CF replacement parts i've seen for our cars.

IGT has a nice trim with great fitment and i believe its real cf. if youre okay with fake cf, check out 3m's di-noc cf vinyl. i heard its great for wrapping the interior trim in. it also isnt nearly as expensive as the real cf.

I want to get rid of the headlights first but I want $500 for the grill (i don't need the stock one). and yes I still have the dcr laguna secas. the chrome on the front lips are starting to peel but the tires are like 85%. I would like $1500 as is for them. (a local shop said they can re-chrome the front lips $175 a piece but in cali you can prob get a better deal on chrome. also perfect if you wanted to powder coat. if you interested let me know send me a text maybe we can work something out. (201) 726-6125

link works. (i tried and could see it) i know on g35nyc you need to have an account otherwise after seeing so many threads it wont let you see any new ones. if its not even letting you onto the g35nyc site then i think its your work that's blocking it.
