Carbon Fiber overlays

Listmates,
I am looking at some carbon fiber parts for my 996. Prices from Porsche are exorbinant! I once bought an overlay set for a truck and some of the pieces fit and looked great, others were shabby. I don't intend to put junk in my Porsche, but I would like the carbon fiber look for under say, ten grand. Any one use those overlays that go on with 3 M tape, and if so, were they worth doing?
Thanks in advance.

Don't do it you have a Porsche not a honda to put stick on stuff. Do it right and buy real carbon parts or send the stuff out to bumperplugs and have it painted to match your exterior. trust me you get what you pay for...
