Arrow GB: Silver/Black Carbon Fiber or Brushed Metallic/Aluminum Interior Overlays!

This is a GB for REAL Carbon Fiber or Brushed Aluminum overlays just like the ones Mark Koch did in the past (if not better), where the overlays actually wraps over all the edges and leaves no plastic peeking out like other brands/variations...

I'm sure there's quite a few people with a bit of peeling on the stock plastic pieces, adding some real carbon fiber/brushed aluminum is a great touch inside the RX7!

Carbon Fiber (Black):



Carbon Fiber (Silver):



Brushed Metal (2 finishes available):

Metallic:



Aluminum:



***Other finishes, such as wood grain etc can be made available upon request***

Pictures courtesy of 7Racer:







Kit Details:

- Will be GENUINE carbon fiber or brushed aluminum (not "look like" or paint)
- Will utilize 3M low-profile automotive adhesive
- Will be precision cut to fit the panels EXACTLY
- Will be prefinished in a high gloss UV protective coating (so no fading or dullness over time)
- Will be a COMPLETE ten (10) piece kit: Gauge Panel, A/C panel, DIN door, shifter console (auto shifter surround also available), ashtray trim, driver side door panel trim, driver side cubby lid and corner, passenger side door panel pocket

***For you guys w/ RHD FDs, email me and I can place your orders separately, as those are already available.***

This group buy has been open for quite some time, so I will be closing it in TWO WEEKS. So get in while you can.

If you wish to participate in the GB please include the following information with your payment (Notes section of Paypal):

1) Your forum username
2) Your real name
3) Your shipping address
4) What you're purchasing (CF, or Brushed Metallic or Aluminum Interior Overlay)

Payment info:
Paypal payments ONLY please. It's instant, safe, and saves me the impossible task of trying to get to the bank during normal business hours

Prices per kit:

Price for Paypal Instant Transfer = $439.88 Shipped

*Price for Paypal E-Check = $430 Shipped

*There is a tutorial for PayPal E-Check stickied at the top of this section.

Ramy,
Do you have to send in the parts to be covered (ala M Koch) or is it owner installable?

gilesr6, sorry I don't have pics. Someone will have to purchase a set before I make one in the metallic finish, as I originally set out only to make the CF overlays...then added options based on popular demand.

ptrhahn, this is an overlay kit using 3M low-profile automotive adhesive, NOT a wrap. Wraps are expensive, require more material, are very labor intensive, and yield inconsistent results, since they are done by hand. So yes, this is something you purchase and install yourself.

Kriss, as mentioned in the original post, "***For you guys w/ RHD FDs, email me and I can place your orders separately, as those are already available.***"

Thanks,
~Ramy

I am dedfinately interested.
Although, I would like to see close up pictures of where the overlay meets the ende of the plastics.
From the pictures, it looks almost like it may wrap around to the back side a bit giving the appearance that the peice is completely made of CF which is sweet.

How about pictures of the edges from the visible(top) side and then pictures of the plastics from the underside?

:edit:
I didnt read that those are 7Racers pictures. IIRC his is real wrapped CF with epoxy and clear coats. Any pictures of your kit yet Ramy? Or do you still need a guinea pig?

I see Mark Koch's work in 7Racer's car pictured above as you said. I am assuming you don't have any actual picture of your kit? Do you have any type of a rough guess on an ETA of when you will?

He doesn't have them "in stock" since this is a group buy, so you have about a week to pay the money and get in on this.

Anyway, your order & payment was received and processed. I'll get 'er packed up and ready to ship ASAP, and PM ya the tracking # once it ships.

Thanks,
