If you are entering a Super Chevy show, be aware that your "modifications" will likely put you in the Modified class....along with the all-chromed-up, blower-engine cars.
I went to one in Bristol, TN and they wanted to put me in the Modified class because I had a tape-stripe on the car!
[everything else was dead-stock]

I've seen this stuff in person and the common problem I see is that while it looks good in photographs, it is very obvious in person that is not carbon fiber. It seems just impossible to recreate the depth you see in real carbon fiber. Would like to see these in person. Looking real good on here.

I think the seats look pretty cool. Having that "theme" running throughout the car will be unique and may be interesting to 'onlookers'.
One question... Did you clearcoat all those parts so they can withstand some use/abuse without the coated surface getting marred-up?

The exterior pieces I did not because I wanted a matte / satin look to them . The interior pieces have a clear coat because I wanted them glossy . It's gonna standout , just hope I didn't go overboard.. lol
