If not I'm going to talk to someone and see what they think about making them....company that makes lots of specialty parts.

Okay, he's saying if we get a small group (5 or so) together he can mold the pieces and sell for about $300 (maybe less) for carbon fiber (didn't quote FG). The more people the cheaper it gets.

I would suggest, finding out a price on, say 20 and then posting to see if there is any interest. $300 is just not realistic for most FC owners. I would rather have a bran new s5 surround than anything CF. That's just me though.
Point is your not gonna get much interest unless you throw a lower price up.

I would pay $10 a piece...cuz that's how much I could make them out of aluminum for.
Mazdaspeed7...you're in the CF business? If enough people got involved how much would you sell the surrounds for?

I could probably do $10 each for the sail panels.

Anything I do sell for FC's from now on will be made for me, and if anyone else wants one, Ill sell them after mines finished. But I can already tell you radio surrounds are a no-go. Ive tried before.

I not trying to srgue about what it costs to produce, I am describing a realistic price that most FC owners will pay. At 125 it is not economically viable to produce it. NO **** SHERLOCK!
But very few owners are going to shell out 300 + for a piece of interior trim.

The sail panels will be done in cf. If I can find a pair of good ones, Ill make the molds this weekend.
Digi7tech, most of the problems werent in the actual part itself. It was simply not economically viable. Noone wanted to pay what was necessary to have one, ESPECIALLY since I required deposits to start the mold. I have no need for one. I have a S5, and am perfectly happy with my radio surround.
There arent any clips holding it in, except the shifter surround. The ashtray poses a hell of a problem, and I was going to leave it out. Other than that, its pretty straight forward if you know general fiberglass skills.

I'm thinking of trying to make one again but with the shifter surround built in. I intend to reface it, though, so that I can put my stereo, guages, and what not wherever...but this is just idea. I'll prolly never get it done.

Theres very few people like you. Most FC owners would not drop $300 on a cf radio surround.
