You are making overlays, not replacements.

Who cares? We're talking about plastic trim-pieces, here...purely aesthetic. Would it really matter if they were complete replacements? Ahh, right...because then they would be so much lighter than stock and be considered a "performance upgrade."

Tony, the weave in the pic above looks amazing. Quality work.

Sorry to break your heart but, any overlay be it small or large is worthless. I do not care about the light weight on the interior, but overlay items are worthless pieces.

Maybe you should read your own thread and my other replies, also I am not that "one guy," there are plenty of us.
How about you become a forum sponsor first, also this is an open forum, if you do not like people expressing their opinions in your threads then do not post them.

I think everyone on here has had decent points. Here is how I look at it

I kind of have a rating system

1 being terrible 10 being great

1-4 is fake carbon fiber (fake anything really) stick on over lay

5-9 is real carbon fiber (or real anything) over lay

10 is real carbon fiber (or real anything ) replacement

Now where exactly a product lies whether it be on those numbers or between them also depends on the quality of the piece and how closely it resembles the piece it is covering/replacing and how well the fitment is on said piece.

however just because you can doesn't mean you should also comes into play

case in point you can cover and or replace just about every part on the mustang with a chrome or billet aluminum something or other
