Matching OEM Carbon Fiber Trim

[TheLawnDart]

Hello world!

I was trying to match OEM carbon in the Raptor with some more trim accents. After looking around through the forums and what not I couldn’t find what I was looking for. After reaching out to TuffSkinz I found out they have a domed matte version available for their Carbon fiber pieces so I ordered some samples then some trim pieces (shift knob, shift knob base, start/stop trim).You can order any of their carbon fiber pieces in matte if you just email them and ask them. It very closely resembles OEM, just slightly larger weave and in a different direction. Feels almost identical and I’m quite happy with it overall!

I didn’t either, just happened to see it was available on another product. When I asked them about it they said they could easily make it in any finish they offer, but I would just need to email them my order. I also ordered samples of all of them before I ordered just to double check

I own this matte domed carbon on a few of my Braptor external parts and all I can say is @StickerFab hit it out of the park with this stuff. Its by far the best looking faux carbon on the market at the moment in my opinion.

The ones I got were TuffSkinz. Domed and real carbon. Haven’t seen the StickerFab ones but I do love the company. I’ve got a descent amount of their code orange topo set inside my Bronco.

I now realize that I was incorrect and it is not a domed carbon product but in fact called 3D matte carbon. Its is faux but still looks great ! Def worth a look.

Question; do the domed matte pieces feel tacky or almost sticky?

I have a few of their gloss domed pieces and they grip your fingers when touched.

It does not. Feels like the OEM CF but a little softer

How are your overlays holding up and did you have the CF package from factor and were just adding to that or all the pics are overlays?

They are holding up great! I had some StickerFab stuff that has peeled off and I threw away but the TuffSkinz looks as good as the day I installed them. I might order some more pieces now that I’ve seen how good they hold up. I had the CF package from the factory as well

I had my heart set on the package from factory but now that Raptors are $20k off, thinking I may need to just not make that a "must have" The only piece I really care about is the shift knob that is bright silver. Its like the only silver part of the whole interior LOL

The CF package is way too underwhelming for the price. going back I would’ve just saved the money initially and bought individual pieces

I havent been able to find a piece for the shift knob, does that company you mentioned make one?

The price of the shift knob with cf insert is around $280. An alternative you could consider is just paint the bright silver portion of the knob.
