Carbon Fiber Interior Overlay

Anybody know where or who makes them if any? Maybe something to lay over the window buttons and locks and over the cd player and ac controls???

I think rexpeed makes a real carbon fiber overlay. You could also try your luck on ebay. There are a few carbon fiber vinyls that appear so look real. Obv you would have to trim it all yourself but its an option. I have no experience with the ebay kits but just from searching it is clear that some are of a much higher quality than others. Good luck with your decision and be sure to post some pictures when you are done!

You can find the CF A pillars, B pillars, Armrest, and Dash trim, and guage cluster pretty easily..
Carbontrix,lancershop,rexpeed...

As far as the Shifter console and Radio surround, you will probably have to get it done custom.
Thats what I had to do..came out good but could be better.
I just bought spare oem pieces and had them wrapped in CF..
The only piece i'm missing is the window controls.
You can find a ralliart shifter console, but it needs modification to fit a us car and is not real CF.

If some vendor on here would make the CF window controls, shifter console and Radio surround, They would sell quick..

I could make a bunch of parts like that, but not individually. If we got like 10+ people together I would do it.

I might be interested if you get more people and the price was good. would it be an overlay or outright replacement. I would much prefer a replacement especially if fitment is near stock.
