The blue and black carbon fiber would be just right for my car. It's not something I can do now, I'm saving money to buy a cartrailer. :D

IMHO, unless your dash is messed up I think that you would do better selling your car with the stock dash. If you haven't already done so, spend your time and money detailing the paint and interior so that it looks as clean and new as possible.

The paint has yet to be applied, but once it is it will be like glass. so detailing the paint wont be necassary, and the interior is going to be brand new, minus the console plate and speedo bezel, because they are in great condition. i just thought the carbon fiber would look good on a black car with black interior. :cheers:
