Feeler: CF interior pieces

So who's interested in authentic 1x1 cf shells for your interior dash pieces that will clip on to your originals. I'm speaking with a reputable vendor in socal right now. Garunteed flush fitment with no bulkiness. reasonably priced. He's not sure cause he doesn't know how many people are interested. Please post if you'd be interested.
We can finally get some quality interior pieces

Lol this guy drove 20 minutes to me to deliver a part so his customer service seems to be superb and his work is some of the best i've ever seen. He doens't troll on these boards alot and when i brought up the idea, he seemed hesitant because he didn't think there would be an interest. So if the board shows interest he will make them.

I know i've seen numerous threads for cf pieces that are 1x1 and of superb quality. I hope evom comes out and voices their opinion so we can have these things made.

As stated in previous posts in previous threads just like this one, people will be all over CF interior pieces if they are well-made

I agree I personally would be interested, but I think there would be a large demand for some quality interior pieces.
Also I don't know what the price would be but as long as it wasn't outrageous I think there are people (me being one of them) who would be interested in genuine cf replacement pieces, not just clip-ons or overlays. For example a real cf center consol, or door inserts, or dash pieces. I know I would be willing to pay more for a true replacement piece.

I wholeheartedly agree that cf replacement pieces would be awesome... but seeing as how mitsu's cheap, they decided that all interior pieces will be mounted via plastic clips. The problem with this is that you can't make a replacement piece out of cf because the oem plastic clips are flexible so you can push them in but a cf clip would just crack. So a cf "shell" is definintely the next best option.

ANd i know this topic has been beaten to death in other threads, but the guy who's making em wanted me to create a thread to feel for interest. I can't post pics cause they're not made yet. This thread is just for the prospective manufacturer to see if its worth his effort to make these pieces.

If he could make an example of a few pieces (center console, hvac/gauge console) so we could see the quality of the work and such, I'm sure you would have a far greater response.

Thumbs up I'm in if they look like this

Like everyone said, I want to see some pictures of his work, some price quotes would be nice too, but what I've been looking for is something like this:










Anything less then that is a no go!
