Carbon Door Sills (Traditional carbon-weave/honeycomb/forged)

Gauging interests for this new style of carbon finish Side Sills

Honey Comb


Forged


Traditional


couple of finished product



as you can see, there will be options between Carbon finish,color on the letters, there will also be an option for Non letter finish ( smooth tradition carbon/honeycomb/forged )
there will be no drilling required , it is molded out from OEM aluminium sills for accurate fitment and it is provided with double sided tape for easy install

color options for RX7 letters are Red,Gold,Silver,Black

gauging interest for people here on the forum
if the demand is met with a minimum of 21 people then the Brand will become an official Vendor here on the forum and the GB will be official

more products to come in the future if this door sills becomes a success.. *hint hint* great fitment carbon/FRP interior trims anyone ?

I noticed this on facebook. He had no luck as people where screaming scammer at him due to being asian. But he seems to have happy customers in other car scenes from what i foud out.
The interest is there for me at least, but i will have to wait for some more detailed pictures about the edges and the colored letters, to see how they look close up. (devils in details and such)

Purple. Closer to midnight purple. Quick google search says it runs $85 a yard. In the interest of saving money, depending on how many layers of carbon you're doing for these, you can do the bottom layers in black and only the top layer in purple..

Depending on how fast you can move on he rest of the interior pieces, ultimately I want a full interior set in the same manner
