So I was looking on ebay for carbon fiber pieces, and found some dash kits for the 2000-2004 Legacy/Outback, are these dash kits any good, or is there any dash kit out there made for the BE/BH Chassis?

98% Chance they are plastic with vinyl covers.

Simply put, there is no easy way to make vinyl look like carbon fiber. Every day I see the real stuff.

Some companies sell Carbon Fiber tape, I suppose you could use that to cover your stuff, but it's not very flexible and would crease and bubble a lot I'd imagine.

Advance autoparts has some carbon fiber-look vinyl on a 6" wide by 6 feet long roll. Held it next to my hood, and what do you know--it's an exact match for the color and the weave pattern of my hood.
