Default Carbon Fiber anyone?

Ok so I like carbon fiber look and wanted suttle changes in the interior, nothing super outlandish and extravagent (I cant spell to save my life so please bear with me) I wanted these dash pieces in carbon fiber and nobody sold them, and the pieces I DID find were astronamicaly HIGH! So I decided to make these from REAL carbon fiber. Let me know what you guys think? It took me almost a month to do all of them with wetsanding and letting it cure and clear coat and all that jazz on my free time after work.

@Danwolski To buy the actual kit with the carbon fiber and all the apoxy n shit isnt that expensive really like 100 bucks man and you can make more than enough pieces with the rolls they send you. Its not that its necessarily hard to make its just really time consuming more than anything. But thanks man!

@hotlantas2k Thats what I was going for man, was a OEM style look, I wanted it to be suttle and not really falashy thats why I only did those pieces and not everything else in the car. But thanks man I do appreciate the complements man! Hopefully judges think its nice too lol

You did the big piece around the cluster? I looked at that piece for hours man and just couldnt figure out how to get it with one piece and set right, so I just said f@#k it... Yes you have to take the control boxes apart fully. Its a PIA because you have to make sure to get the extra apoxy out of the insides and what not so everything snaps back together properly.
