I'm not sure yet, some where between $80-$100.

The picture above is a prototype. Here's a picture of the actual product.


Requires you to drill 2 small holes on the side for installation.

Will be ready to be ordered in 3-5 days and i will have more info by then.

I'm working on both OEM replacement and blank RHD AC Panels right now.

Looking for a LHD AC Panel to do the same. LMK if any one has one in good condition.

I'll be following this for the center console updates; I could donate this piece as well, but Id need a CF one back

I think it's obvious what people want and need. Yeah Seibon makes them, but for $720 a pair is a little ridiculous. 99% of all FDs could use doors that don't creak. If they can be made affordably, there's already people interested.

I'm looking for center console, AC panel, gauge hood, gauge bezel, left/right door panel with all plastics/accessories and possibly dashboard also.

For both LHD and RHD.

I'll be making both OEM replacement and "race/track" versions.

We'll be dedicating most of my time towards the FD interior.

Doesn't look like there's a lot of interest but i'm working on a prototype/test piece for a RHD AC Panel. Then hopefully it would gather more interest.

If you were up here in SF, I'd lend you my doors. There're already half off since I'm working on strengthening them and getting them to not to flex as much.

It's really not hard to take the doors and interior panels off guys

I picked up some of that 3M carbon vinyl to do my door pieces, a/c panel, shifter, hood/gauge cluster. I also used a fiber glass bondo "tiger hair", to eliminate holes that I didn’t like/nor need. It all turned out absolutely awesome, but for the life of me I can't get that vinyl to cover the gauge cluster in one piece!

Long story short, even though that 3M stuff rocks I'd gladly pay 800-1000 to have CF replacement pieces if I could get rid of the holes I did on mine.

Make the rear engine cover. The knight sports one is a little extreme though

I quickly scanned the old posts but couldn't find anyone that answered you. Feed makes this. I think it may just be a cover though I forget.
