Red Carbon Fiber Door Panels (finally) =D

Ok, please don't kill me, but I love these... and no you can't have them (yet).

See more on my page:

My Photo Albums?..... (it's link labeled 2008-08-CF)

Check out the other CF link above it, it has my center console bit <3

And I still need a center console =|

I found a site online with a 41 piece dash kit, you could get it in that color of carbon fiber or a number of any woodgrain/CF/modern colors. I'm getting mine in red, I actually posted the link in one of these areas I forget where though...looks nice though!

Mine are better...





I've got the rear doors too, but haven't had time to install them yet.

Props to Jim (Rogue Fit) for his amazing work.

I believe it was $55 for the fronts to be wrapped and $20 for the rears, and I can't remember for the life of me how much on the shifter ring. I bought all the parts from Majestic Honda and then shipped them out to Jim once I made sure everything was ok when I got it.

**edit**
The pieces are like $3 a piece from Majestic Honda so you don't have to ride around panel less while you wait.

Composites suppliers

Guys stop overpaying for overlays!
Here is the link to composites suppliers world wide. Just contact or even better (if you can!) visit the nearest one and you will be surprised how cheap a sheet of carbon can be. Any color any thickness! Overlays are easy to cut with an exacto knife and even easier to apply since you are gluing them to a flat surface with a single curvature (no compound curbs).
Composite Material Supplier Links
I got a 1 square yard sheet for $28 when I was doing center caps on my OEM wheels. I got it nearest to me and just went over there, checked all colors and thicknesses, got tips from the guys and even scored two round and very rigid (6" diameter) pieces for free! They were formed with multiple carbon layers and under 20 tons of pressure inside autoclave! I will use them to build articulate video camera mounts.
I got them here:
Composites, Carbon Fiber, Fiberglass, KevlarŽ, Vacuum Bagging Equipment by ACP
and I got this:

That kit is pretty bad ass, BUT for almost $300 that's a little much I could put that money for a header or coilovers instead.

I am going with them for the trunk overlays Ivan. I want to cover the MDF boards with it, and I need to finish my trunk before I leave for Illinois for the final time.

Thanks for showing off the parts CuTeBoi and yeamans17. These parts are actually dry cloth (real carbon fiber) bonded to the part with clear resin and then clearcoated. So a little different than the adhesive backed pieces.

Fitting, the silver is a bit harder to work with than I was planning but I will try to have the panels and ring out to you on Monday and the other pieces will follow.

As for pricing, please ask for a quote, nothing personal but the first couple got a good discount.

amen, plus I'm never selling mine... maybe my kid will sell them for college funds when he's old enough... but I'm sure there will be better looking things in 18 years.
