i just paint it. CF will change color later and it looks ugly. Cost to paint and to buy this CF would come out pretty much the same. (unless you're going to sell this for $50)

looks very nice, the only thing i don't like and it looks like kind of getto is the back part i think it should fold down like in between the 3 gagues , not just stragight back like that, sorry i didn't mean to say getto like in a bad way ... just my opinion.. do a group buy, but i again i need to get my dash kit first lol!!! then i'll be in if it's not too expensive.

Our clear coast is UV protected. It will slow down the process. If also you take care of these cover with wax, they will last even longer. Some carbon fiber product when you receive them. If you see some parts are bit milky on the top surface, then for sure they will turn yellow or even crack later on. Reason for this is cuz manufacture rushed when making these parts. As you can see from our product. They are all very clear and shown great reflection of carbon fiber. In the future, we tend to make most of our stuff in dry carbon. They will never turn yellow or crack. Only product we have now in dry carbon is rear strut bar cover.

You wont be able to see the back of the clusters anyways.

How much for a group buy?

Yea, I was thinking not to extend it out this far. Just follow original lines. This item will be made in dry carbon. So it will not fade or turn yellow. Sample made is not dry carbon. Currentlt waiting for the metal molding to be made. I just couldn't wait, so had them made wet carbon sample first. Price will be less than 100 area.
