Default !!!custom carbon interior!!!

can anybody refer my to a good carbon fiber company,ive searched high and low and really havent been able to find anything.i bought an applique and found that not only was it a waste of time installing,but also a waste of money.the one company that i did find wanted almost as much money as i paid for the car itself.and to top it all off the removal of the applique took some of the paint off and left this disturbing residue.if anybody could help me in this department........ID GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!

thnx

CF = Really Expensive...

If you are looking for custom parts you better have a big wallet... my friend just paid around 20k (yes $20,000) to have full oem replacement CF parts made for his skyline.

Wraping is a cheaper alternative (but still not cheap). For the center console piece, you would be looking for around 600 bucks wrapped. The parts offered in nauticac's sig are really whats available now:
A pillars
B pillars
Armrest
Door Sills
Gauge Cluster
Fuse Box Cover

and coming soon:
Mirror Covers
Engine Cover
Hatch Garnish

Top Shop Headliners is one of the top shops (pun intended) when it comes to carbon. They will cost a crap load but will give you the top quality in full CF replacement parts. They have Front Door Panel Inserts and a full replacement headliner out now in CF and fiberglass.

keep in mind that there was a shortage of CF causing the prices of it to skyrocket and it seems to have maintained its hefty price tag. Don't go cheap on this stuff because the quality of the resin and the quality of the weave is very important in maintaining the desired CF look.

Yea, I hate that stuff, there's not depth or three-dimensional texture to it.
