So I finished my first one! It came out okay, but still looks killer, IMO. Its a different shape than the stock one to house my monitor and SAFC. But in the very near future I will have stock series 4 surrounds outta carbon or red kevlar to sell. The catch is that they will have no ashtray, or lighter, itll be all smooth. I will finish the mold and start making them in the next week.
The other catch is that I dont have any fancy tools, or any great shop to do them in. That being the case they will not necessarilly be absolutely perfect. Please dont get me wrong I wont screw anybody with bad parts. Especially seeing as one crappy part sold to a forum member, and Ill never sell one here again. I am just stating that arent coming from a huge company like APC(bad example!) and being absolutely flawless. This will be reflected in the price though.
I will be asking 150$ for the stereo surround and shifter surround. Also add the little panel below it with the change holder for an additional 35$. These pieces have many coats of polly and look a mile deep, and very 3-d-ish. Also I WILL be making CF hoods within the next month or so. I promise!
Also I make a guage holder outta CF that holds 3 2" guages to replace the hole for the logicon for 50$.



So can anyone post pics for me?

This is off-topic, but it's a good picture of a carbon plate stereo-job done well, so you can see how the carbon contrasts with the electronics. Top two pics.

Can anyone make CF gauge surrounds? I think it would look real good with white gauges.

 

Can you make the bezel that goes around the warning lights in carbon fiber? If so e-mail me please

 

I think it is called bezel but you know what I am talking about the thing that breaks everytime you take it off

 

Marco and scott, I just mailed the pics to each of you. The prices will be as follows

stereo surround with no ashtray or lighter(ser 4)--150$
change holder replacement--35$
front bumper underspoiler--200$
door panel inserts(very very nice)--200$
guage surround(ser 4)--60$
triple guage holder to replace logicon-65$
Hood- NA only(within next month)-prolly about 500$

All prices exclude shipping, but the stuff is light as hell!

 

 

my console hasent been trimmed yet so thats why it looks so uneven. Also I made and can make and sell carbon cold air boxes for 175$. What do you guys think so far?

 

Very nice, i may be interested when your done with the first orders. Gage and radio. Gary

 

I see you havent figured out how to keep bubbles from forming on the surface.

 

Is that $60 for a CF piece that surrounds the stock gauges? Do you think ypu could make a copy of the TII hood scoop and we could just attach it?

 

cant view the pictures

 

the scoop prolly wouldnt be doable And yes 60$ for the guage surround. I thinks thats fair seeing as the cheesy APC ones are like 40$. But the pricees are somewhat negotiable, especially if someone bought a few items at a time.

 

I think that if you're going to continue with this and make it into an enterprise, you should pay an advertising fee like everyone else does. PM me so we can discuss details.

 

Sorry Boosted I was unaware of any sort of add fee. And on a side note, I know Mazdaspeed was going to do basically the same thing, but I havent seen any real progress after some time. I waited as to not step on any toes, but I have waited over a month, and why should I just sit on a good product thats ready to go cuz someone else talks about it? Hope I dont/didnt offend anyone.

 

are you gonna make some parts for 89 + turbo ll?

 

I would be down for a hood eventually. Keep us posted!!
