I suggested for them to sell them altogether and just sell them individually on special request. They haven't told me what they will be doing yet.

and yes.... THESE ARE FULL REPLACEMENTS

Alright, just got an update. They are working on the A/C , radio piece right now.

They said this piece might take a little bit, because of the complexity of it. If you take off the little A/C stickers you will see the little pieces behind it. That is really hard to make into a mold. So they are still working on it, but will just take a little longer.

I don't think anyone has come out with a carbon fiber piece of this piece yet, if so, what type of thing did they do? I am not asking this for Cerious, I'm pretty sure they can get it, but just wondering myself.

Ya, they said they can do that easily, but want to do actual piece in full carbon fiber.

carbon fiber probably requires a different method of molding than fiberglass i would presume.

I wonder if it would be easy to make the whole thing cf then the little pieces just keep plastic. Like the pieces that are smaller than a toothpick size. You don't see it and it really won't make that much of a difference. That's not what they are doing, but I think that would probably be easier.

why not just drill them out ??? They are just there to let the light through to illuminate the panel.
