right im looking to have the dash trims made of cf they are awesome, just thought id see if there is any interest on here, need a minimum of 10 for each so put your names down and what your after.

this is where they are going to be made and the link is for mr2 parts but it gives you an idea on rough price.

What dahs trims are you planning to get, as theres a lot of trims that could be made? And how much is it going to cost, seems like it would be extremely expensive to get every trim on the dash done. How much of a discount would there be for having ten?

And most importantly, has this been approved by a moderator?

Sorry didnt realise it needed to be cleared with a moderator, I was planning on getting pretty much the whole trim set like the trd dash trim Panels, I'm currently waiting on prices from him and yes we will be able to get discounts on large orders I'm just gathering interest first.

interested but looks like its going to be way too expensive based on the kind of prices listed on that site. jordisonjr is right, the 6gc does have a lot of trim pieces and to be paying what looks like roughly $70ish for every little trim adds up to a lot!

You'd be better off just buying the 3M stuff, and wrapping it yourself.
It looks pretty close to real Carbo fibre, and if theres no actuall real carbon fibre in the car to compare the fake too, you can't even tell much of a difference if you do a good job.

Its not like you're gaining much by doing complete carbon fibre pieces, such as weight reduction or anything.

that 3m product is good stuff. i have a plotter to cut the pieces but the application is pretty forgiving, xacto and a heat gun should be all you need to get a great result
