eBay Carbon Fiber

Anyone bought any of this? 76 sold, someone must have it just looking to break up the interior a bit
It’s cheap abs, is it to cheap for 30 bucks?

I installed this ebay one almost 4years ago and looks not bad.
You can tell it's fake carbon but I'm happy with that.
I just took pic this morning.

In my opinion, small interior dress up with carbon fiber that is sourced through eBay or overseas isn't necessarily terrible. It doesn't get as much UV exposure as exterior parts so yellowing in the clear isn't as much of an issue along with durability. If the look is right and it's real carbon instead of something hydro dipped or a look a like, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'll provide a link to the dash kit that I currently have installed on mine. It's been on for a little over 2 years and it still looks just fine.

i have one, but it had a few blemishes in the clear, you can tell they had a dirty shop, and the tip by the AC vent was bent upwards so i had to place an object overnight to get it flat, definitely hydro dipped but from outside the car looking in looks good.

i used polish to remove scratches and blemishes in the clear, but still got about 3 or 4 pinholes throughout the surface.

I ordered one, Definitely Chinese, but supposed to come out of Jersey.
If it’s completely crap I won’t install see how the customer service is.
Probably the only piece I will get, I just want a different finish break up the dash.

I like it

Got it and installed it, it fit well which was my main concern, and it does what I wanted just enough contrast to break it up.
If this piece is reflective of the other small trim pieces, I wouldn’t hesitate to use it again.

It looks pretty good from the picture I went for the full CF dash panel, but this is also attractive and I'm sure it cost way less.
