I wonder how well they'd stay on, and the quality of the edges. I've seen some pretty bad ones...

I am interested, depending on price ofcourse, but i need to do something to my interior pieces. Since the car is a 93 and the previos owners arent as dare i say neat as me the pieces are scratched pretty badly in lots of places.

I was looking at a company called torasport they have a pretty decent deal on a carbon fiber overlay but i am down to see what these guys can do. I just need to get something to cover all the scratches. I figured the cf look would be better than trying to paint all that stuff because i dont really want to have to remove all the guages and buttons and stuff and tape off all the other stuff to paint it.

The Torasport kit does not fit very well at all.

Let's see some pics with the FD done up......
I'll buy it....

Hey FD, would you be able to beat that for us? =-) that sleek headlight kit is sweet.

Well, it's a bit expensive...but atleast it's not an overlay. If we're not able to get all the pieces that we want during the group buy, will we be able to get them individually at another time?

Nitro - you can get if for $970 for everything here...it beats their price of $1,575...besides, they probably won't even do RHD pieces..

Here is what the backside of the A/C panel looks like. As you can see, there are a number of small screw posts. That's likely the only difficulty in getting direct replacements done.

Why not an overlay like Mark Koch used to do?

CF interior is really more for looks than anything else, IMO.....
