Carbon Fiber interest????

Hello guys ive been part of this site and havent really seen to spectacular for interior mods, but i know a shop that can help us out and there kind of interested but they dont think there is not enuf interest so far on this site for them to become a sponser and start doing parts. They are a very reputable shop from the celica, cougar and eclipse forums me having an FC i would like the shop to do some parts for the FC's and FD's. I can see where other members are skeptical of companies coming and claiming good products but you can see for yourself at the other forums such as www.newcelica.org or the eclipse 2g which i dont know the addy to that one because well i had a celica. well just to show you guys what type of remarkable interior im talking about here are some pics of customer cars that were doen by this shop, and these type of mods could bring the sexy back to the fc's

i apologize for the big photos but just to show the detail of the car some pics dont show the beauty but you will catch the drift of them





they wraped the roof on this car and also did the interior in CF also made the cowl on this car as well




couple more Celi int pics 2 diff cars ones mine and the other is a diff member

mine bad pic


other members


you can see more of mine on my cardomain which is

my celica with all the mods
http://www.cardomain.com/my/edit_page?page_id=2388262

and my seven
http://www.cardomain.com/my/edit_page?page_id=3068136



all the cars were in magazines or national car show winners so that tell you the quality of thier product

might be a lil spendy pending what the work is all done, as in if its a wrap or a piece he makes, not really anything out of the regular, wrapping is more spendy cause of the process it takes, the process is more time consuming.

another thing that can help draw thier interest is if there is a certain pieces that can get everyone else to aggree to buy like speedo surrond or maybe something else that others may want, the shop has experience in lots of stuff such as headliners, cargo covers doors, hoods and wrapping lots of things

I would like Carbon fiber gauge pod that replaces S5 center vents. Or a steering surrond that has dual gauges.

Is there any way to get that back storage cover? I need to get one... badly. I make trips to work and school and I get really nervous having my laptop in the backseat when I get out for lunch and such, especially in portland.

If anyone knows where to get one, please let me know.

CF EVERYTHING and ANYTHING that you can, I think FC owners who still want interior are still left with 20 year old garbage that are subject to warp or breakage. FDs dont really have this problem (i dont think). Having interior options like this for certain cars in North America is a damn business monopoly. DO IT

s5 interiors are usualy still in good shape, my black s5 interior showed minor carpet fading, but that was it. i also know it sat outside for a long time before i bought it as well.

word. Carbon fiber wrapping is pretty lame... its pointless. Dry carbon replacements is where its at.. but that would be really pricey.

I think some carbon a-pillars would be sick though

Install was just selftapping screw put in certain prefered spots so secure it properly.These are made of the biggest weave(to our knowledge) that you can get but they won't be made out of it. It will be the regular 2x2 twill.

I've seen guys coming in offering CF before and they get a lot of positive replies but it never seems to take off. I think it's due to price.
