Well the regular 10-piece flat-style crappy internet kits go for around $200. I can't imagine a top quality package costing less than $350.

I would humbly request there be an option for plain weave (1x1 style) carbon fiber, though really I would buy it either way.

just like tim benton said, I would like to keep my original pieces in good shap, so would these stick on pieces remove the finish if I peeled them off in a couple years, because over time they might get really stuck I would think

So all you'd have to do is clean your panel thoroughly, leave to dry, then pull the back paper off of the CF piece, and stick it onto your panel.

If your going to so as far as making molds for the stick on parts why not just make full carbon replacement parts?

Simple...b/c we already have RHD molds, which can easily be modified to be used for LHD parts (they're mirror images). Plus, there's a CONSIDERABLE price difference between stick-ons and full CF pieces, not just because the mold is different (just the face and border vs the entire piece with mounting points on the rear surface etc), but also the amount of CF that's required to make the pieces.

I should have a rough price up shortly.

Thanks,

Also, on top of the price question, will you guys be doing this in plain or twill weave carbon fiber?

In my opinion I think twill would look better on these pieces

I think we'd be looking at approx $425 SHIPPED, w/ a 2-week ETA if we can get enough ppl to get it together.

Thanks,
