New FD3S Carbon door grip panels
 
I send my factory original parts to my carbon factory and got these back from them! I have tested the driver side already. Will put one the passenger side this weeken. But they mess up the weaves. My driver side is 3K weave and passenger side is plaine weave. I need 3K weave cuz my whole door panel is 3K weave from SEIBON.

Those look pretty dang good. Despite the differences in weaves.

I just want someone to make these to extend over the map pocket area to delete the map pocket. That is what is needed imho. Map Pocket looks goofy in black against the CF. No offense. =)

Good idea, I might just do that as optional piece.

Same... except I'm RHD

staticguitar313 08-22-10 04:58 PM

why delete map pocket when you can just wrap it too? even if broken they CAN be repaired in a way so that they don't break again.

Good Point :icon_tup:
So down both paths what are we looking at

Gringo Grande 08-23-10 04:08 PM

I personally feel it is a cleaner look without the map pocket...what would be REALLY sweet is to delete the map pocket but build a fairly strong pocket...maybe even with contours to pull the door shut. I always feel like I'm going to break stuff...then again I'm fairly large and strong by normal standards. =)

Installed on Seibon carbon fiber door. This is harder than putting on stock. Cuz CF door panels are less flexible.

sweet im liking the way that sounds :)
also are you guys still selling the LHD passenger side gauge pod?
no link to it on your website just the picture and name of item?

fd3s777 08-29-10 08:50 PM

3K silver carbon... As u can see from here. This is not a hand over lay product. It is hot pressed with metal cast molding. Makes them stronger and perfect.

FRP version $79 and CF version $109.

StealthFox 09-08-10 04:36 AM

im definately in, start a group buy soon, it seems there are quite a few people interested in it

fd3s777 09-08-10 09:40 AM

Still waiting for a better finish product. Cuz the sample I had the reverse part where you screw in, holes where not pre drilled. Factory have a new solution for me soon.

Hotwheelz 09-08-10 11:57 AM

im in too when they become available + 1 on the map pocket delete

Hotwheelz 09-13-10 08:30 AM

trying to keep this thread current.....because i need a set thats stronger than oem BAD!
Any new progress on these?

BryanDowns 09-18-10 01:44 AM

You guys do know that the map pockets dont break if you adjust the tension on the lid spring to be less which causes it to not want to < SNAP > shut so hard, right? It takes all of 5 minutes to do this.

that being said, these are cool looking. No way Id give up my map pocket though and it would look stupid (or least not as good) with a plastic map pocket top and CF everything else.

StealthFox 09-18-10 02:25 AM

im more in for consistency of the whole drivers side being carbon fiber than having the map pocket or not. either a map pocket cover, or map pocket delete is fine imo

febrezee69 09-23-10 08:45 PM

so any update on these?

Hotwheelz 09-23-10 09:08 PM
