Carbonfiber door panels and dash?
Well, my car is almost done with the paintwork and now I am looking to finish up some little things like door panels. My original door panels were the ugly **** burgundy carpet that would have worked for me if I liked wearing bellbottoms. The first chance I got, that was ripped out. I preferred to look at the inner workings of the doors than risk catching bedbugs. I also changed the carpet to black and put in black race seats.
Now, I still have a burgundy dash and no door panels. I was looking at the Fibremaz ones, but I don’t think they make a dash for LHD cars and they are a little expensive. I know there were a couple of guys on here that were talking about making door panels, but I never saw the fruition of that.
Anyone have any suggestions or know where such a thing can be obtained?

+1 on this. and the difference with the fibrmaz ones are they are REAL dash and not a cover so even better with weight. I contacted him a few months ago and got no response either

“Hi Michael, how how have you been?
I can do door panels and console fairly quickly.
I can send console in the post, doortrims will have to be TNT,DHL or one of the bigger companies (they are just outside size restrictions for postage) the same applies for hoods.
I will have ventred C/F hoods available again in approximately 2 months. I have attatcheda couple of pics of what they will look like.- (Will be using vacum bag method for these)
Yes they bolt up to the factory hinges at the front and have metal hood catch/rod so factory hood release can also be used.
- I have pics of a finished C/F hood using old moulds, I'll send when I find them.
What's the Zip code and town name for delivery? I'll find out some prices for you in the next few days on postage/shipping
Door panels $620AUD for pair - 3k twill waeve Carbon Fibre, professionally clearcoated and polished. Mine still look good after more than 4 years.
Console $225AUD with any required cutouts for A/C slider arms/ A/C ****, guages, switches etc. I can do both the trims and console a bit cheaper if you know someone with a bodyshop they may be a ble to do it for cheaper than here (make sure they use high quality clear that's correct for the application)
P.S will be launching a website in the near future with all parts listed”
About the dash his reply was:
“In regards to LHD C/F dashtop - If you could find me one in decent shape and send it over I could mould from it, if you could get some other people keened up and willing to buy I would consider covering the mould costs.
I'll get back to you with prices soon.”

Show me some Honda's with factory C/F parts, I can't think of any besides perhaps the special model NSX.
C/F is superior to metal, like it or not
