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!

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.

No affiliation with epr! Just a customer
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

ANOTHER HEADS UP! on Carbon Fibre Parts
Hi Guys,
i have Ordered the Carbon Fibre Side door panel Surrounds from JKL.
Never dealt with them before as well, service is slow. Hard to reach them by phone. Only via emails. Took a Chance and ordered online : BUYERS BEWARE! Payment made and Awaiting the parts. Will let you know once I have received this.
Kevin Said they dont carry the 4 pcs Dash Kit anymore , only the Door Surrounds

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.

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.

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!
