Wow that looks too good!!!...
Is it customized for your Mini or they are actually selling it for MINIs??
By the way, how much is the damage??
Thanks

Do you mind if I ask what a kit like that costs? If not, How much does a kit like that cost?
It looks good!!!

Looks cool....is it real CF? (edit: just read and see that its a hydro-film)
do you mind me asking how expensive something like that gets? They have the price for a side vent on a hummer costing over $200

Ha, I do this too. "Do you know if...?" followed by the actual question.

Here are the details as I know them:
It is not real CF.
It is done by a process called "wet immersion".
Cost is anywhere from $500 - $800.
The best thing about it is it fills all voids unlike stick-ons and a lot less than real CF. Easier to take care of also.

$600????? is isnt even real CF, for $400 more you coulda gotten a real CF JCW dash, the NICE one that replaces the whole dash.

So pony up the $1000 and get a JCW dash if that's what you want. To me, this looks nice and I wouldn't mind having $400 extra dollars in my pocket.
Looking forward to the installed photos.

I think it looks quite good forget abut it being the faux stuff. The real CF dash pattern I think actually looks too large and therefore visually too busy for my taste. The faux pattern appears to be a better scale.
Could you please post photos after you have it installed? Thanks!

Twister...
That looks great!
I had that stuff in my truck and it is a really nice option to real CF. Alot of folks couldn't tell the difference when just glancing in at the interior.

Looks Sweet
I wonder if they make one to fit a 2005 MINI. I ask because the dash on an 05 is slightly different on the passenger side.

Again they dont make these. These are OEM parts customized. So yes they can do 2002 thru 2010! and beyond.

No offense but i think they are just trying to get one by with the whole "wet emersion" crud. That basically looks like Carbon Fiber Decal stuck onto stock parts and sold at a HUGE profit......
As someone else mentioned i think i rather pay the extra $400 and get the REAL Carbon Fiber....

I expected someone to say that. If you could only see the quality close up you would have a better opinion of the finished product.

It is a very nice and clean job. Maybe I just have a problem with it because I can't see spending that much on my dash
