I laminated mine in carbon fiber, I think it turned out pretty good....

That does look good. Do you have pics of it installed?

For the love of GOD make carbon fiber center shift kits like TwosRus used to make.. ive been bugging him via email for the past month about it lol

Dumbscout · 01-20-2006, 10:41 AM

what did those look like?

Mekkahfire · 01-20-2006, 03:43 PM

Pure sex. Thats what it looked like.

Mister2.2 · 01-20-2006, 04:54 PM

The round center really clashes with the MR2 Interior. On it's own I think it's nice but it really does not match anything else.

Mekkahfire · 01-20-2006, 05:11 PM

Are you joking? I think thats the best part... i would rather have it like OEM ABS plastic with the circlular center..

Mister2.2 · 01-20-2006, 05:17 PM

Uh no, I'm not joking? It does not match anything in the car. Like I said, it's nice but it clashes with the interior.

As odd and stupid as it may sound...Carbon Fiber Mudflaps...I don't have the OEM ones, so it would be cool to get them made, then color match them to the car (that way, no one would jack them)...Maybe even the rear center mesh grill...Something along the lines of the 94+ spec shape...

We are working on a full replacement 94+ tail light center panel (not an overlay) Mudflaps sound cool, but one properly placed stone at highway speeds could destroy them. As for the shifter surround, I was planning on doing something that still followed the lines of the interior, offered additional clearance for B&M and other short shifters that always hit the factory surround, and still had a nice machined billet trim surround.

Dumbscout · 01-23-2006, 06:52 PM

The center shifter panel thing looks hot, that gets my vote as well.

thwam · 01-23-2006, 09:12 PM

Medpilot has announced on the other board that he intends to do another run of the shifter surround.

Rocketman · 01-28-2006, 02:31 PM

Any kind of dash. It wouldn't have to look like the OEM or anything.... just be a functional easy to install complete carbon fiber dash! I want the weight savings! Oh, and when will a company finally do fenders for our cars?! I mean honestly...every other car has carbon fiber fenders available.

1 more thing... these are really sweet!

Monocoque chassis?

AceX · 02-06-2006, 02:19 PM

Seriously, even if they are overlay, I would buy up some of the MK1 interior pieces...

jokers21 · 02-09-2006, 11:25 PM

yeah i would definitely like to see door panels

mr2pmp · 02-19-2006, 02:01 AM

Just start pulling parts off of a MKII. I can almost guarantee, if you make them, people will buy it. CF side mouldings? You bet! CF headlight bezel? For sure! CF floor mats? Ummm...probably a couple!

But what would I like to see? I would like to see a CF spoiler that replaces the trim piece where the roof meets the rear window. I mean a spoiler like the MKI guys can get that extends out over the engine lid some. It's really just a little extesion, nothing overly extreme. That should help create a low pressure zone above the engine lid that would help pull air up from underneath the car and assist with engine bay ventilation. At least I think it would...

And a rear diffuser and very flat CF underbody panels. That would be hawt!

ecm garrett · 02-26-2006, 02:57 PM

im not even sure how itd look in real life, but in my head it looks good - a ducktail CF spoiler for the roof of MKII cars. id buy one.

CF fender flares would be great

CF door panels look amazing, id like to replace my stockers with those

oh i got another great idea - removeable CF cup holders lol, id love to have a cup holder in my car, why not a CF one? lol

any updates, anything made?

ecm garrett · 02-26-2006, 02:59 PM

oh one more thing - something ive seen made for rx7s, evo, and lots of other cars - a CF piece that attatches to bumper to keep soot from collecting on the rear bumper.
ive seen ones for other cars and tehy are cheap (20-30 bucks) and im sure lots of people would buy them, they are good looking and have a real function

ps - looking on that carbon trix page, they have a couple cool things, like pillars, but i wouldnt want gauge mounts in one.
also the fuse cover in engine bay would look nice, help clean things up even more
