Might want to check your trash can because I think you mistakenly threw away the back CF piece

Aftermarket carbon fiber definitely adds some diversity of color & texture to an otherwise monochromatic black interior...

I've installed a few of JOGONs CF pieces in the interior of my 2LT / stealth optioned C8 to coordinate with the GT2 CF seat trim...The quality and fitment are excellent!
.
  • CF Extended Paddle Shifters
  • CF 3-piece Dash Trim
  • CF Gear Selector Cover Plate
  • CF Steering Wheel Airbag Emblem Surround Trim
  • CF Steering Wheel Control Panel Edge Trim

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

I only did a few CF pieces to coordinate with my GT2 CF seat trim...Very pleased with results particularly the steering wheel trim and gear selector trim which were bright silver!

Virtually all of the stick on CF pieces are manufactured in one of a dozen+ Chinese factories. The retail seller is never the maker just the marketer. With customer service, one Chinese seller might have better English skills. As such, there is no real branding. End of the day, it is the roll of the rice. Pardon the pun. Don't fall prey to the US based vendor expensive is better trap. Unless a seller says definitively that their part is Made in the USA, it was made in China.
