On order: Carbon Fiber dash trim
 
Orderered CF trim from carid.com a week ago. Hopefully the quality is good. I believe i got the 24-piece kit. didn't want to shell out $200+ for the 42 piece one.

anyone got any pics if they have cf trim?

also got a suede dash mat to keep the lint and scratches off the dash.:)

havent ever seen the CF kit on the xd. they look pretty good in the xb's and tc's. if you're a fan of CF. not particularly my cup of tea but it does look good on some cars. i decided to pass all the CF and other kits. i just took my interior pieces and had em painted. figured id try to make my car stand out even more

Probably is, but that's how they've been doing it for years. My 96 camry had wood grain dash panels, but it was just a plastic sticker from the factory. It should look fine though.

Make sure to post some pics up when the work is done. I would love to install some cf overlays with white woven onto the pattern.

i'll try to post pics when installed, etc. check out carid.com, i know they have the silver carbon fiber option available.

k got it installed but sorry no pics yet. I didn't install the pieces that to me would look dumb: the air vent pieces, and the trim around the shifter (automatic). also i left out the stereo section until i have an aftermarket system installed to avoid any prying/chipping damage.

first impressions: the fit is NOT exactly perfect. a heat gun had to be used to stretch stuff out or mold it around the USB/ipod outlet section. also, i was a bit disappointed that the long trim pieces on the door (surrounding the door locks did not cover the entire section----the side section is left exposed (again, sorry no pics; maybe later).

Still, the carbon fiber looks great, and I can't complain too much because it's the only kit i know of out there for the XD (carid.com, i believe $115). I would recommend this product to other people. also i had no problems with the transaction or shipping with carid.com. hope this helps.
