theres also a carbon fiber shifter console, a carbon fiber armrest for the center console and carbon fiber door panels....

I dont remember where any of this stuff can be found but I remember doing searches for carbon fiber on this site and people had links to these vendor sites in their discussions.

I'm not a big fan of CF, so just about any CF is too much for me. Even the CF-look-alike dash trim piece in my RA is too much. I'm thinking about painting it to match the dash, or looking for a regular plastic piece from a different car. (ES or LS, maybe, if it'll fit.)

I am a huge CF fan! I love the look of the carbon fiber on the TG Lancers. Obviously there is no parts made for our cars in CF that would make a noticeable difference in terms of performance/weight ratio. If anyone has CF on their Lancer it is purely for cosmetic reasons for the most part.

Here is what I have to date:
- RRM carbon fiber grill
- RRM carbon fiber eyelids
- RRM carbon fiber reflectors
- TYC carbon fiber 3D tail lights
- Custom designed carbon fiber and silver graphix ($1,100 worth of vinyl!!!)
- Carbon Creations ver.2 carbon fiber canards
- Carbon fiber wrapped 7.2" LCD screen in dash
- Custom made carbon fiber badge on steering wheel and trunk
- Cerious Performance carbon fiber Evo VII spoiler
- Custom made carbon fiber eyelids for tail lights
- Custom made carbon fiber nitrous bottle holder (cftype.com)
- Carbon Fiber vinyl wrapped mirrors
- Carbon Fiber exhaust bumper heat shield
- Carbon fiber Interior Dash Kit
- Carbon Fiber Autometer gauges
- Soon to come: Full carbon fiber front splitter with aluminum stabilizer bars
