Question carbon fiber interior

I'm trying to find carbon fiber interior panels for the doors, dash, and center console. Does anyone know a good place to find them and hopefully for a decent price?

AFAIK, the only carbon fiber console pieces you can find will have to be custom wrapped for you. Mazdaspeed does make carbon fiber pieces but those are for a RHD car so they wont fit. A few members on the forum have had their dashes covered with carbon fiber, but the guy that did it closed his doors and no longer does it.

If your not looking for just carbon fiber dash pieces, and not just door panels, but actually carbon fiber doors and the like, Pan Speed does make them, but they are very expensive and very hard to get. But if thats what your looking for, just search and you'll find what you want.

Other then what Cmartin posted, i'm not really sure where you can find carbon fiber door panels. Anyways, good luck with the search.

door panels are very very light... i dont think its worth taking off and replacing with carbon fiber.. if you really want, you can overlay it

yah i feel yah, the only reason i am even debating that kit is because my stock interior is really scratched up. i might go by a place in austin that i heard can do cf wraps for your interior pieces.

I was wondering if anyone's ever tried the CorkSport overlays. It seems like they cover a lot for a pretty good price.

warrens hot rods in cleburne does carbon fiber....Warrens my dad and ive seen him make cf intake manifolds and all sorts of ****....Just keep in mind that cf is VERY expensive. I say save some money and bondo and sand it with 800 grit , primer and paint. With a basic knowledge of paint technique, it can look very decent. Theres a book on custom interiors that has good info....cant remember the name, but you should be able to find it at your local hastings or barnes and noble. Its normally the only book on the subject....Its like "DIY custom interiors" or somthing alonf those lines
