No RHD interior panels :(

Looks like the make some nice products.

That's interesting. The quality I've seen, first hand, from that company before was horrid. Literally you could wave some of their "CF" pieces and they would crack.

The last set of interior pieces I saw from them...either they've made a significant change in the quality of their products or I'm questioning whether you've actually seen well made pieces.

I sincerely hope the quality has gone up because that would be a tremendous asset to the community...even though this thread may get deleted/locked because it could be perceived as an advertisement. Just a heads up!

What is the fitment like? I would be interested to see how they fit since they dont have any photos on their site of the pieces installed

Install pics!

Very interested in the fitment. I was looking at either painting or wrapping my interior parts. This would be a huge plus for folks looking to revitalize their interiors. Hopefully they don't fit like the CF parts of old...

+1 :)

I don't like websites with no prices listed. It's acceptable for one-off unique products but for common products like these there should be a price.

Anyway, does anyone know how much these cost?

Gringo Grande 09-04-12 11:02 AM

Ruler Mark has a thread or series of posts in which he used some of their products...in this section. Search for it.

GoodfellaFD3S 09-04-12 09:02 PM

Eh. This thread appears a bit fishy.... is this a product review? New user with barely any posts trying to drum up business for a friend?

I'm going to amend the original post but leave some info. As always in these cases, Buyer Beware.

bigpaparotor 09-06-12 07:20 AM

I asked for a quote on there hood ( Re style) and was told it was whole sale only. So where would we get these parts?

Hi Guys,
I maybe new , but I have no tie up with EPR or Jeffery. nor are we friends. I live in F*eakin Bahrain ( the Middle-East) . So never ever met the guy. Only correspondence was with emails. Finding parts the the FD is even more scarce for me. As we have only 3 cars on the Island. I have been searching for Carbon Interior parts for a while until I stumbled upon this website EPR. I contacted them and got great service and a great product. Thats All......

I know alot of fellow members were looking for the same thing so I thought I'd post this to help other fellow members. Or just inform the site that there are companies that do Carbon for our Unique cars.

BUT YES BUYER BEWARE: THAT GOES WITHOUT SAYING FOR ANY PRODUCT ON LINE!

My Experience was Good! And I am more than happy with my purchase.

My car is a Slow Project, all the parts are being Stripped and going to repaint. If I get the chance will have the parts installed and show fitment.

thanks
Loco

I got the 4 pcs kit for the Dash.

Here are some Pics: Sorry for the crappy Cell phone Pics....

what was the cost for the 4pc set (before shipping) ?

also, while the quality might look good in your hands, it could be a different story when you go to install them. i remember reading about fitment issues with the various tabs, posts, and screw holes not lining up, so it would be cool if you post your experience after installing them.

94RHDFD 09-07-12 09:10 AM

I sent them a email to see what the pieces cost and i was told $499 + $50 shipping, i also asked for pics of pieces fitted in a car and they didnt have any.

Let us know how you like it after you install them.

I don't have first hand experience of these dash pieces but I have enquired with EPR in the UK and the below is a quote from them after they spoke to EPR in China reference fitment of RHD dash pieces. I would say this matches the experience other have had so far in fitting Chinese made dash parts.

"they say the fitment on them are ok but will have to do some light work on it to make it fit perfect as the mounting fitment on them are so difficult to make them 100% perfect like the original item"

I was actually pleased they said that, at least it's somewhat honest but I don't know how much work is required to make them fit satisfactorily.

It would be good if you could take some photo's of the underside of the stock pieces next to the carbon items so we could see the mounting locations and what might be different/wrong.

So I actually ordered a carbon fiber gear surround panel from EPR a few weeks ago and the panel arrived today.

Couple of photo's below but first observations are:

Surface quality is reasonably good, I expect it would look pretty good when fitted.

All the screw posts to mount switches etc appear to be there but I haven't tried fitting any switches yet.

All okay so far but here's the kicker, there are no mounting studs for the metal clips. There is no way to actually hold the panel itself in location!

Anyone considering these pieces should read Ruler Mark's experience with them...and the amount of time it took for him to get everything to fit. All of those posts are hand laid...they are not going to line up OEM style.
