I'm not trying to bash or anything, just constructive criticism but.... Those tabs look really crooked and thin, not to mention the aforementioned rough edges. The carbon looks great but overall I don't see a $950 product. This looks more akin to something I'd get from China on eBay for like $250. Again I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, just calling it as I see it.
We just finished the mold for the shifter surround and should have another carbon test piece of that in a couple days.
I believe my prices are around the same as JKL, we're using a better process and it should fit "with little to no modification" but we'll see once i get the test fit pictures from efinimazda in a couple days. As for the rough edges i'm not sure what your talking about.
Criticism are welcome!

I'm slightly confused about what you call 4 layers of material. Can you be more specific on the process? Because my understanding is that non-sheet CF/FG isn't as strong.
Also, as a LHD person, I would rather see LHD parts before making deposit. Sorry about being picky but I've dealt with issues prior and I'm sure others feel the same.

4 layers.
1- carbon fiber
2- 10oz cloth
3- 1.5oz chop mat
4- 10oz cloth
For these little parts you don't need a lot of layers or a core support but for our bigger parts we have different layering for that.
Yah we just finished the mold for the LHD shifter surround so should have pictures of that installed soon also.

Just got some test fit pictures from "efinimazda". From what he told me all he did was took the part out of the box and bolted it down. The fit was ok about a 9/10. As you could see in the pictures there's a gap on the left side but that should be fixed once it's position with consistent gap all around which is how the OEM fit is like. Other then that there are minor things that needed and will be fixed that was already mention in this thread(mounting tab thickness, rough edges etc...
Also here are some pictures of the LHD shifter panel, that was just made. Currently trying to find a local car to test fit)

I'm interested in door panels gear shifter surround gauge surround, and a dash cover. A complete interior kit that replaces or covers all the plastic bits that everyone asks about would be great. While also allowing people to pick and chose what pieces they want to use. Makes the interior look great too.

Door panels or door plastics? We don't plan on doing door panels but we do plan on doing the door plastics.

Personally I'd like to do a CF interior, or at least CF on the big stuff. Bins, dash center console and door panels. That's why I asked.

So i decided to start on all the molds for the OEM lhd kit(almost complete), next is blank lhd then OEM rhd etc. Hopefully having all the molds done will speed up the GB.
I might have a complete LHD OEM kit finished in the up coming week with test fit pictures depending if i could find a local car to test fit, i'm excited to see how this comes out with all the pieces together.
