Its going to be hard to find a company willing to shell out the money to make the mold for CF replacements. There was a guy on my350z.com that was wrapping pieces in CF for us but he recently decided to stop his services.

The plastics on the seats do make the seats look cheap though. I would definitely buy a set if they were available. In addition, someone please make CF replacements for the dash accents! Evo IX had factory CF dash accents, why didnt Mitsubishi make it for us X owners...sigh.

I think if you want cf replacement you guys can talk to Rexpeed. So far he doesn't offer it but im sure you guys can talk to him. His stuff are top notch.

Carbontrix makes custom CF stuff. RRE is affiliated with them, so you might be able to talk to Mike W. and get some info, otherwise they have a website.

Robert Tallini is the guy you need to talk to.

He owns Road Race Motorsports and Carbontrix.

I'm sure if there was enough interest he could have them made.

Your best option might be Rexpeed. Send him an email. They make CF parts for just about everything
