Overlay real CF on trim pieces or get fake CF Vinyl stickers.

as far as i know, nobody makes CF trim that replaces your old trim. your best bet is to get someone to overlay real CF over your existing pieces.

or the newer 8g GTZs come with a carbon twist trim. not real cf but looks similar.

Or you can get the OEM carbon like peices from your local dealer.

Yeah those factory carbon pieces look perfectly fine. If they came in silver fiber I'd get a set.

Why not get the peices you have now and have Cali CF them for you.

AS for doing it myself, Im not that talented. I tried to buy some of that vinyl shit off of ebay, but that stuff sucks. It didnt even fit right. You said to go to a dealer. Do you mean a Mitsubishi Dealer? Can they get me CF pieces? How much would they charge?

Its not that hard, just get some 3M Adhesive Spray and CF. Spray the trim piece and CF with adhesive and stick them together and cut to fit. Then epoxy and let dry.

Heres two I've done.

Ebay has some for $35 its a 10X50 cut, more than enough to do your trim (type in "Carbon Fiber Twill"). What ever you do dont buy Bondo epoxy, it stinks like hell and it has a yellowish tint when it hardens. Get a Marine grade epoxy again it can be found Ebay.

Unless your local drug dealer would have these pieces then yes I would go to your local Mitsu dealer. I believe they run under 100, I got mine at cost but its been over 7 years since I bought mine.
