custom cf pieces

all those who are interested in some cf interior pieces i may be able to help. i have been doing custom work for alot of people over on the 350z forums(yes i drive a z). i have done center consoles, speaker pods, a-pillars, b-pillars on the outside and a-pilars on the outside of the car too. i have even done some parts out of some civics. what i do is take your interior parts and wrap them in real cf. exactly what Twinsnails had done up in the pics above. here are a few pics of some of the work i have done, these are pics of my interior(all cf) i will post some more later. anyone that wants anything done or may be interested pm me or email to email below.

Center console (entire replacement for aluminum surround), door interior aluminum, cruise and radio control covers, essentially replacement for all of the aluminum would be great - both the sedan and coupe. What about the exterior chrome around the windows?

just to make sure u kno this is not complete replacement pieces...i use your stock pieces and wrap them in carbon fiber...please send me pics of the exterior pieces since those are the only pieces i am not too familiar with...email to custom_cf@yahoo.com

My mistake. I thought these were CF parts. Is it more difficult to make CF only parts?

I bought some carbon fiber overlays for the battery covers in the engine compartment to match my CF Z tube. The adhesive on these did not hold up and the overlays peeled off after about a month. I washed these pieces with dish detergent, alcohol and used the adhesion promoter, but they still did not stick. Since you work with CF, can you recommend an adhesive that will work to make these overlays stick permanently? Thanks for your help.

the tape that comes on the pieces should have been good enough. maybe the heat in the engine had something to do with it.... i really dont kno of any adhesive. i havent put many overlays on my car. sorry

Tonester1011's doing my door handles as we speak in black CF. Mine were scratched to high heaven too. I'm hoping to have them back next week at which point I'll post some pics. PM me if you have any questions.

I wonder what kit will go well with the tan interior. Maybe a nice light wood? Anything out there for the tan interiors?
