Default Carbon fiber Interior

I want to buy a carbon fiber kit for my interior. I have been looking at the RSW and the EVO-R kits. Im wondering if theres much of a difference between the two besides the price. Im curious if the RSW is more expensive just because of the name on it but once installed doesnt seem like you would know if it was RSW or the EVO-R kit. I dont see the names on either kit in the pictures. Anyone with experience with either kit please let me know what you think of them to help me decide if I should just buy the cheaper kit or not.

The only difference is weave pattern twill size 1x1 or 2x2. What pattern u decide is your business. I don't see any difference IMHO!

Im wanting to get black carbon with the twill pattern. I dont see paying the extra money for the RSW if the quality is about the same. I dont see RSW stamped on the parts.

Yeah what im saying is why pay more for the name if they are about the same. If the RSW is better quality than I would go that route but if the quality of the two are the same then theres really no point in buying the more expensive kit.

^ woah nice ... and what the, are those floormats for your floormats?

Sure wish there was more selection for the steering wheel though. Always see stuff for the dash/door/gauge trim but for the steering wheel, only found the ones at thezstore.com. On the aluminum part, for some reason theres some clear layer thats starting to crack and chip on my steering wheel

Yeah wish I could get those pieces wrapped but Z's my dd and driving around with those exposed electronic panels in the wheel while I wait for them to get wrapped just makes me nervous

That looks nice Changvi! What are those carbon stickers on your pedals or a different pedal?

My personal experience with the Evo-r people didn't go very well. I pm'd them about some parts I needed and they responded with a price and their PP address. I sent the money and they said I would have the parts in about two weeks. Four months went by and I never heard anything from them. I then sent them a PM asking about the parts and they informed me that they should be in the following week. Tired of getting the run-around, I asked for them to just cancel the order and refund my PP. He responded saying there would be a 15% restocking fee. I asked, how can there be a restocking fee when the parts never left your place? Finally after going back and fourth, he sent the refund. I would not do business with them again.

Others have had better luck so if you go with them or not is up to you. I just wanted to share my experience with you so you know what you might be up against.
