Default Carbon Fiber Madness

I'm looking at giving the car a new look with the use of Carbon fiber. I've been looking at Carbon fiber door pillars, for a 2 door 1996 civic hatchback but I keep finding some 3M Adhesive ones, which are selling for about $50. But have a look:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...sting
Isn't there something better than a "sticker", like an actual pillar replacement?
I'm also looking at a Civic Type R speedometer gauge cluster bezel, which is going for $30 bucks. I think it matches well with the Si cluster. Then, Im thinking of getting a Dash Kit like this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...sting
But it doesnt seem to me to be real CF. Its also 3M adhesive. After that I'm looking into APR CF Mirrors or Craft Square mirrors. Don't know what else would look good in CF. Any suggestions welcome.

Here you go all the carbon you can wish for
Before it got painted



After paint



Also have the roof, complete dash, center console, and arm rest. The arm rest and center console are not instaled

Looks intense , but In my opinion you should paint the bumpers, fenders and sideskirts blue... (leave the trunk, hood, mirrors and gas door and ****)
