I agree 100% with you. Im a graphic designer and have a side business doing decals, thats why i prefer doing the wrap. Its less expensive and I can do it myself. Granted its not real carbon fiber and my dogs claws will eventually scratch the material so its give or take when it comes to that. I think what you are doing is really cool and hope people buy these from you...do they come in blue? Depending on how well mine holds up i may be talking with you again in the future

i feel the same way with wood trim.. nothing disappoints me more than a car company that cuts an oak tree down and lays it across the dashboard.. i want wood in my house, not in my metal vehicle.. aluminuim, gloss black, carbon fiber, etc is fine

X2. If wood is well done like in the 13 platinum then I'm down for it but gloss black, silver and aluminum is my style.

I love the look but you have to use carbon fiber in other areas of the truck to make it all flow nicely such as the door inserts etc. My truck is tan and brown which does not lend itself to CF nicely.
