Exclamation G/B Carbon Fiber Interior check it out those that wanted it

CF Type has responded back to me about the CF interior pieces, i'll need to send them my interior for them to make a mold, but if enough ppl are interested i'll send it unless someone else is willing to, they'll be charging us 1 mold, plus the actual pieces, please answer ONLY if you would like to participate in the the group buy, and announce please what pieces

use these abbreviations so you dont' gotta write much. thanks guys. sorry fi taking a bit.!!


DPT : door panel TRIM, for ex, the plastic piece where your arm rests around the door handle and the pocket box. on both doors

GC/CW : gauge cluster and cowl

GC : just gauge cluster with the cowl behind it

UCC : upper center console ( vents ***** radio section)

LCC : lower center console ( around shifter and defrost button area.) this does not include the part around the lower plastic console that goes down the sides of the tunnel and behind the center plastic piece the goes all the way tot he rear compartments.

AP : A Pillar No gauges Both sides.


Thanks for the replies. like i said it'll happen with enough ppl. they didn'tgive me a price yet, they wanna know how many they are gonna actually make to give a price for us, the mor ethe better. please answer serious, i don't want to get pples hopes up, and they you cut out of the deal and screw us all. thank you for the patience and cooperation.

I would be really impressed if they can make a full CF mold. Someone tried to do this in the past and the hard part comes in making all of the tabs for the various pieces to fit. That is, its hard to make the tabs that are found on the OEM piece on a CF mold. IIRC

I hope they can do it and would love to see pics. If they can make a full CF piece I wonder if the cost will be reasonable. This isn't easy to do folks.

I'd be willing to get some, but are they complete replacements? Or just overlays? And I'm also wondering about the quality, I've seen some very good ones and some not so very good ones.

They HAVE to be overlays. I just went to their website and read this:
Q: Why don’t you guys just manufacture the part? Why even wrap a part?
A: #1 The price to manufacture CF parts is costly, so if you really want FULL CF parts, be prepared to spend some good loot. We usually charge about $400-$500 to make a mold for a set of "A Pillars" and about $1500 for an OEM hood. #2 These are just prices for the molds, the parts are extra and sometimes for us to even consider making a mold for someone #3 we usually have the client commit to a minimum amount of 10 units.
Most of our clients request manufacturing, usually are shops who black label our product and mark 'em as their own which is perfectly fine with us .... as long as they are happy and they make their money consequently giving us more projects in the future.

That was what I was thinking too. I was looking at the back side of the A/C/Stereo panel tonight, and it would be a nightmare to duplicate as a stand alone piece, short of having a plastic mold made for the backside. There are just too many tiny mount tab/posts. I'm sure there is a way to duplicate it, but not easily or cost effectively for such a niche/short run part. Hopefully I'm wrong though. I'll take and post pics tomorrow night.

I'd definetly buy a set if it was all carbon fiber. I'd never even think of putting an overlay on my car.

It is hard to make these pieces without using OEM pieces. (If it is full replacement) I know cuz we went with overlay on our 350Z products. This is not any stick on overlay you see on the market. Those will make your interior feel sticky. Here are some picture of ours. Of course same item can be made for RX-7.
