Bump. I have a LHD, but wanted pics of the matte fiber as a reference. Also, as far as fitment, I read this whole post and the previous issues that occurred, was that all settled? Ready to jump on this!

The fitment for the Climate control panel is decent. I wouldn't say 100%, but I'm not concerned about perfect fitment since I'm building a full time track car.

The cluster panel has some issues, though. The posts to mount the hood are too short and some of them don't even line up with the hood. Also, the radius of the panel is more "sharp" than OEM. So, the hood doesn't quite fit right and the sharper radius doesn't allow proper fitment to the dash.

Can you post some pics of the fitment on the hood please?

Also on the other stuff, don't want to drop 7 bills on something that looks terrible.

My car is currently not in my possession due to being in paint. When I get the car back, I'll take detailed photos.

The center console is done now but the workshop forgot to keep the gear stick hole! Is that a problem for you racing your FD? Let me know and I will amend the mould to keep the opening!

So, anyone else want to give their 2 cents as far as fitment? I'm not using mine strictly to race, it'll be a weekend car.

Yes we also have the OEM center console replica. People have been reported some fitment issues on it but nothing that can't be fixed IMO.

has there been any improvements on keeping the weave even on the center console around the hvac controls?

If the weave can be kept consistent then I would definitely be interested in the whole interior kit.

Weave patterns are all in the same direction on all three parts I bought.

I'm interested in the interior dash set for $585. But do you also make the door panels in carbon fiber? The door panels in FDs are very fragile so I believe you could get a ton of interest if you produce some of those.

Sorry no lol I need mine. Maybe down the line.

When you replicate them do you replicate the whole piece? Or just a cover?
