    Well, kinda unfortunate but the faux carbon fiber dashboard strip got stained but a air freshener my dad left in the car, and it exploded and dripped on the dashboard and left a huge streak.

    Thats what I'm talking about, the strip below the air vents, I will post up a picture of it later, but for now my dad is wondering if there is anywhere he can buy another strip. I believe it's replaceable as I've seen forum members mod theirs by changing the color and whatnot.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    have you checked the cost at the dealer? if not just give them a call and get the price you might be surprised.

    Well it happened just recently, so no, not yet. But thanks for the advice.

    Hmm, well if its just a streak why don't you just paint it to what color you want since that would probably be the cheapest way. But if u like the CF look then you will probably have to go to the dealer ship and u you probably get charged an arm and a leg

    Gah! Double post.

    My dad tried scraping it off, wiping it off with a damp cloth and soap. Seems like its on there pretty good. But I haven't personally tried anything. He asked me if I could find anything out about getting a replacement.
