Does anyone have or can you suggest a kit or the best way to overlay my dashboard bezels to give them a carbon fiber finish? Thank you. reb

I used exterior grade automotive vinyl on my bezels over a decade ago and they still look like new.
Clean the surface, stick it on and trim out the opening with an Exacto knife.

Hi OldJoeDad, Thank you. I was leaning in that direction, but didn't know if someone had precut the overlays. I appreciate your help. reb (Roger)

I made a template once for my vinyl cutter. Lost the templates though. They went with my old work computer. It shouldn’t take much to plot them back out though.

Aligning a precut piece of adhesive backed vinyl would be a pain.
Once stuck, it doesn't want to come off.
But, it's also a pain to cut all of the openings with an Exacto......

Good Morning OldJoeDad and AWalkerW02, Thank you both for the feedback and insights. It sounds like both approaches, whichever way I go is going to teach me how to be patient. I appreciate all of your help. reb (Roger)

Which ever one you decide to get, be sure it has the polyurethane clear over the top. If it doesn't, you're simply buying a decal, and I mean a VERY thin sticker to go over the dash panels that is usually flat, not glossy.. That's why there is a huge difference in prices.
