ocelot729 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I was looking at the carbon fiber interior trim kit from GM and was wondering who else has done this and how well it looks, plus ease of install, tools needed? better kit to buy? I need a new head liner soon and was planning on a OEM tan color one, but if I swap it out for a dark grey instead I want to slowly change out my trim, while doing that I wanted to hit the trim on the dash and center console plus the overhead console with the carbon fiber look.

diggerdan11 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 do you have a link? I had a carbon fiber trim set I bought for my SS, but I was not impressed with it. As far as the tan trim goes you can easily paint those to match the dark charcoal color of the rest of the interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the brushed aluminum trim combo that the dealer installed on my truck when it was brand new. It is only stick on. It has an adhesive backing that goes over the existing plastic. Thats it, no tools. I like mine, Its different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was looking at for mine, and painting the overhead pieces, and adding the CF looking trim to the overhead console for the moon roof. How does the dealer one hold up? don't want something that'll fade or look like crap in a month ya know, lol. BLNAWAY, it's a 2006 Silverado Ext Cab.

Blown 346 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 My overlay has been on the truck since 2003 since it was brand new. It hasnt faded and still looks brand new. I have no complaints, it fits well, and makes whatever you put it on look like one piece not a overlay. The key is to buy a good quality like GM. I have seen other overlays that dont fit well and you can see the seams where it meets the original plastic it covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocelot729 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Yeah, that's what I'd be worried about, sounds good, I'm gonna look into the GM ones, and custom one / make one for the overhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
