i will walk away from this thread now.

Again...what difference would it be to you if they were full carbon-fiber replacements? It's not like the guy is selling cheap stick-on dash trim kits or covering these pieces with carbon-look vinyl, here. Oh, right...it's the principle. http://www.need2speed.com/vb_forums/...ies/jerkit.gif

Do you guys even have a clue? The cost of manufacturing full replacement trim-pieces, especially in such small quantities, would be exorbitant. You guys would be whining about him charging $1,400 for a small window-switch panel. I can't even think of many cars which have full carbon-fiber replacement pieces available for them, as molding all the clips in most trim is close to impossible. And a news-flash...if you think OEM carbon interior-trims in Mercedes, Audis, Porsches, etc., are full carbon pieces...guess again. They are all the same.

No its not really just the principle... I mean ... Why do you think racecars have CF body pieces? because they are structurally sound and are lightweight... not because it looks cool... my problem is this - people with regular cars wanting to make their rides more racey - get stick on overlays - I mean it doesnt even look good lol... honestly CF looks like fvcked up black paint from far...

^Don't let some of the guys on here bother you, I'm sure they'll shut up after you post pics :)

Can I buy the first set of carbon fiber switch panels covers that you have coming in? (After you CF them of course)

Carbon fiber is/has always been a preference for looks and style rather than performance 90% of the time.

We're working with feather carbon for some interior trim parts as well :)

Keep an eye out for our products in the vendor/sponsor section!
