Carbon Fiber OEM Sttyle replacement Kits

I am posting this because I am currently in negotiations with a parts company located singapore, I spoke with about doing my interior pieces so molds could be made from them. Then Once the parts are molded doing a group buy, they seem interested and have made return contact. I have asked them about making 2 kits,

Kit #1
A/C Vent Trim Piece, Mirror control Trim Piece, Shifter Center Console, Ashtrey Cover

Kit #2
Kit#1+Window Controls for all 4 doors, Change Cups for all four doors

Price has not been discussed as of yet because for me it would be different because of the initial set up fee.

So here the Question?
Would you be interested in such a kit?
The Supra Kit was priced at $1000 but thats a lot of CF in that *****

no doubt its gonna look sick, if you're a cf fan and you are looking forward to interior upgrades this could be a good investment...might be a bit pricey imo. outcome of the evo might have less interior pieces, but custom cf still very expensive...im shooting around 500-700, give or take 50bux

I'd be interested for sure; given the price is acceptable. I'm not apposed to spending a couple hundered on a good CF interior replacement, but it has to be quality and has to be a full replacement.

Definately interested though.

If I had a evo I would consider it, but with some of the other things I would like to do with CF in the car, it might be overkill. But yeah for sure, if the car was in my hands right now, I would think hard about it.

I am interested if you ever get them PM or E-mail me.
I know in Japan you can get the part that goes across the dash but it is only for right hand drive Evo's. If you get it made for ours I would buy it!

Interested assuming this is a full replacement piece, not that stick on crapola (don't care how high quality the stickon or glue is).

Also would be tight if it came in colored CF like in the pic (blue for me please) :P

Not sure if I'm big on the CF. Is there way to remove the stock parts and get them painted to a different color? Like maybe some of the colors that they offer elsewhere in the world (silver, blue, etc).

I'm pretty sure that's a DIY mod. You can buy interior paint in many different colors. Two of my friends have done it, one used red and one used silver. It comes out pretty decent if you are careful with it. Here's a link from JCWhitney.com with the mentioned item. Hope that helped.

if price is REASONABLE i'd be down. if it's real CF and OEM quality and fit then I'd pay more, but nothing astronomical

umm why don't you use one designed for the regular lancer. It would fit our cars and they're all over the place.
