silver carbon fiber FD
hey that doesn't look too bad. at first, it kind of scared me when i read the title, i thought the whole car was silver carbon. well anyways, the quality looks top notch. where did you get this done?
hows the material feel? cheap? or does it feel real and nice? and the touchscreen must've cost u 2 arms and a prosthetic leg? how much was the labour fee to cut out the hole? or did u do it urself?
at any rate, looks pretty cool

I took the plastic interior parts out and had them fiberglassed and wrapped. Turn around time was 4 months and I did it during the engine rebuild. Quality is top notch, all patterns align, and I noticed no problems refitting. The pieces were done in Indonesia. I installed the touch screen myself. First, it's smaller then the 2 decks that it replaced, so I milled out a piece of aluminum for a trim ring. Then I sanded and polished it with a mothers powerball and green metal polish. To get the new deck to mount up I made a u shaped bracket and welded a 3/8" bolt to the back. Saved hundreds of dollars by doing it myself.
The door handles on the exterior are from Feed, the interior triangles I sent out to be wrapped. I got the idea from seeing Mark Koch's site ( Carbon Fiber Parts.net ). I didn't want the traditional black C.F. because thats my interior color already and I enjoy the contrast. I wanted a white guage cluster at first, but after installing the dash I was content with the stock guages. The pod in the center speaker location was purchased from FLYRX7 here on the forum-very well constructed.
$1100 with shipping and tax. I like it alot because it makes the car look like money. Very 3-dimensional and great contrast to the black interior. Gets rid of the cheap looking plastic. Silver is different and thats how we make our cars.
Looks like quality workmanship. Do you know if they used that Foliatec resin/carbon system? Just curious. Do you have a link or contact information for the company that did it for you in case anyone is interested in going that route. BTW your head unit looks great in there!
