I got myself some carbon effect sheeting and wrapped it round my stock sills, dead easy, and does'nt cost as much as real ones.
Tell me what you think guys, yes or no?
I can take it (your comments that is)


I know i've cheated but even so i think it looks alot better than the stock look.

Got it off ebay, £20 (about $36) for 5 metres x 12 inch, not bad realy, when i looked at other prices they asking more for less.
I tried to do the plain part of my dash , the part where the glove box is but it would'nt take to the shape 02.gif
I think i need the 3d stuff that you can mould with a heat gun, but for the amount i need it would cost about £250 ($450) so that will have to wait.
I get mad somtimes cuz theres so much i want to do but everything now is going to be big bucks sad.gif as most of the less expencive stuff is done.

it looks OK.. but i hate farbon fiber.. (fake CF vinyl crap).. my friend has a really nice altima.. but it has a bunch of fake CF crap on it, and makes me not like it at all.

sorry but that stuff is uber rice and ugly.. but if thats what ya wanna do, more power to ya..

ill prob just paint mine a glossy color or something.. might just make some out of alum, and have tiburon etched in em..

i like man good job.

im not much for fake stuff because on ebay u can just buy carbonfiber sheets or fabric for pretty good price.

but urs is very clean looking and it looks like u took your time. bigger pics would be nice to see the details though.
