I've never liked CF, especially on the dash(already too busy), but c'mon jetguy, you have to admit that the center storage box/compartment is downright gorgeous! And the roll hoops! I wonder how that would look with the Veilside tonneau cover I have..... oops, gotta go clean off.


And it's "faux," not ebonics for "four."

daaayum pete! i love your interior! can i ask you how much it was? i want it!!absolutely beautiful!!!
If you want ALL the interior plastic done- around 5 grand.

It can't be done out of real CF. Even if it were possible, it would cost more than the car!

Kodokan's cf definitely looks way better then the precut type of cf stickies with the lines on the edges where you can still see the dash.

Mastergrade produces CF custom parts, not CF OEM parts. Their interior parts are very different than OEM.

Elda tried to produce a CF replacement instrument console, but gave up due to the complexity with mounting brackets, etc.

I have only seen a few OEM interior piecces made out of real CF (center console) which came from Japan. Unless one company does all of the pieces, the parts probably won't match either.

Check out all the speaker holes on the lower door panel - I don't think that's possible to make from CF. Also the roll hoop covers don't come apart, so they would have to be manufactured with the roll hoops inside. There are lots of other issues, including the size of the parts. Some, like the rear deck, lower door panels, etc., are a lot of square footage.

master grade does make the entire inner door panel... they also make just the upper part of he door. they also make the whole door sill they make the A pillar frame which is oem... they make the center consol... ASM makes a full dash in cf and bys makes the cluster surroundings. so it is more then possible and many companies do it.....

The Mastergrade interior parts don't look like OEM parts. The only ones that might look OEM are the top windshield panel and A-pillars, but those are new, and I haven't seen a detail pic of either one.

What about the rear deck, rear console assembly, kick panels, roll hoops, rear panels, steering column covers, dash and door trim pieces, etc.? I think the total is 46 pieces.

If I had a choice, I would definitely prefer real CF.

If I had to have real CF, I would be S.O.L.
