Anybody have pics and cost estimates. No cheap overlays, i'm looking for the actual thing.

I looked and couldn't find another post about this, unless somebody else can re-direct me to it.

Thanks!!

 

Did you really search?

Well, there are cheap (fake, look alike) CF overlays. And then there are expensive authentic CF overlays. If you want a CF panel that completely replaces the entire panel parts, you'll need to start printing a lot of Bengy's.

Here's a few photos of my interior (authentic CF overlay). The kit comes with complete (driver and pass.) door arm rest panels as well.

All overlays are ugly and cheap looking, no matter how much they cost. The only way to do it right is to remove the interior panels and have real carbon fiber and resin applied to them with a vacuum bag. Do a search for 7racer to see what I mean.

 

..In the immortal words of Dan Akroyd;...Jane, you ignorant ****!

 

The real one's is a grip 99, too much for me

 

I have the same overlays as arexseven. They were on the car when I bought it. I think it looks decent (I wouldn't go as far as "ugly and cheap looking", but removing and coating as DamonB mentioned looks awesome in the pictures I have seen.

My interior:



Here is 7racers':

 

Did you put the DIN cover on backwards? I think yours is alright but it looks crappy having the weave change directions in the middle of the dash. Just my opinion though.

I have to agree with DamonB spend the coin for the real deal.

I personally wouldn't do it cause it makes the inside way to busy.
Plus the CF is actually adding weight to the car. a bad strike against it in my book.ALong with the looks.

 

And the guy that was doing CF in that thread is no longer doing it.


www.fibercation.com doesn't resolve. Typo? www.fibernation.com has some interesting stuff. Not for my 7 though.

 

Good Eye. I must've placed it on backwards when I first did the install. I'll change it tonight. Thanks.

You probably add more weight to the car by eating a Big Mac before you take it for a drive

 

Haha I was going too add that after the statement I made. It was a sarcastic stabb at the people that add CF parts because they are light! Not directly at you More the "ricers".. That is the first time I have called anyone that.

 

heres the kit my GF bought me for my birthday from www.RPMcyberstore.com it is real CF and is dead sexy..

 

that's not entirely true...work has made it alot harder for Mark Koch to do the CF dash. I think someone else on the forum does something similar if you do a SEARCH for carbon fiber and dash.

I think Mark told me he would be restarting doing CF again soon though he is leaning more towards making new parts.

 

my car doesn't have a DIN cover, was it an option?

also I think I'm missing the "apron" that covers most things under the car, can someone take a pic of under their car for me so I know if I'm missing things?


sorry...a little off topic

 

Where is mark?? If you reading this, I want your kit..so hit me up send a PM or Email me at soo_fascinating@hotmail.com

here is mark's website....
http://www.markkoch.net/carbonFiber/

here is a CF 99 spec lip he did for me

I think I was one of the first with the 99 spec lip but it looks like two other people have gotten it done.

 

ps....

you might want to check out his prices before you get tooo excited

 

his site is closed down.......

injen

 

if you click on past projects it has the prices

 

but......does he still makes it?? he seem all busy..I think i know what he does thats always keeping him busy...you know it! CNC.. Mark if you reading this, could I get your blue print to the dash because am also in CNC and I could easily make it if you could get me the blue print...

thanks, sincerely yours-
Injen

 

I would send him an email....it looks like fikserxseven just got his 99 front lip and door sills done....so it seems like he is doing it on an intermitant basis (his post is on the other forum)

I think you would get a quiker response directly emailing Mark.

You can do this via cnc? Carbon fiber????? I doubt that he has a "pattern". I think he does it all by hand then clears in multiple coats. I'm sure you could find out how to lay CF and have it as a DIY project.

 

I could do it, instead of plastic and ect...ill use carbon fiber.. The hard part is figureing out a pattern...That take up too much time..

btw...does he still even reponce to messages on his site?

injen

 

Why don't you send him a message, and see if he responds? If he doesn't respond, you know the answer. If he responds, you know the answer. And at the same time you can ask him to make a specific thing for you. Amazing!

 

SOFB!!! i thought i was going to be the first with a CF covered 99 spec lip....;-(
well, since i saw this, i want mine wrapped in CF, that guy can do it? whats the deal, i want it done!
