Composite Materials Carbon Fiber Replacement Parts - Page 2

HeartbreakMR2 · 06-11-2008, 12:28 AM

I didn't respond the first time I saw this but yes. Trim pieces (mainly due to the difficultly of finding replacement parts for them.
I.E. * trim piece surrounding door handle/lock on door panel
* shifter surround (oem style replacement)
* door cups
* ashtray lid
* door handles
Headlight eyes - Frunk, Trunk, Engine cover, Fenders, side scoops, bumpers, front air splitter

Might not buy all at once, but never know.

I would totally rock this stuff on the Mk I trim pieces that go around the rear window on the top side. You know, the B pillar plastic trim pieces? I think that would be the perfect application..... Cause a lot of peep's B pillar trim is dry and cracking and breaking AFAIK

carbon doors with factory trim, handles to match your paint.. i'd like thattt

8" sub enclosures that replace the sub/storage boxes behind the seats so I can still put my T-tops behind my seat would be AWESOME!!!

Yea B-Pillar trim would be nice. C-Pillar trim especially. You gotta think the OEM plastic pieces over time will fade, or crack, and its not really cheap to get replacements. Not that cf is cheap, but when you figure that 1, it just looks a ton better. And 2, that piece will last a lifetime. I'm an MK1 guy myself, and would love to see some cf pieces. I actually just got a carbon fiber center console made for my 88'. Looks gorgeous, guy did a great job. So much better than the OEM console. Really makes the interior "pop". Expensive sure, but to each's own. Definitly worth the $400 in my opinion.
