Carbon Interior

Hey I am looking for carbon fiber trim to replace my wood trim. I got a quote from Renntech and Kleeman and they both seem really high. Can anybody tell me a cheaper solution to getting carbon or aluminum trim in my car? Is the stock aluminum trim from europe available anywhere, and if so how much does it run?

I did the checking a few weeks ago so these might not be exact, but I beleive that Renntech was around $4K and the Kleeman was around $2500 or so

dronellis,

I am interested in this project as "DIY" project. Can you post the procedures that you would use to convert to CF? I found CF sheets at TAPS Plastics and they have all of the materials to turn CF sheets into CF parts.

What can you buy the color CF sheets , blue, gold, silver, etc.. I saw only the standard CF color at TAPS.

Thank you.

Is this for everything that is currently a wood panel or just for the center console?

what do you guys think of a Burberry check trim with the knight logo? I was thinking of doing this to my car. Luxurious or gay?

I think it'll look dated/awful once the burberry trend goes away...If you're thinking of going that route, why not go with a classic MB plaid interior? Now that would be something:

You mean the seats? or what? I agree with Larry, when the trend fades you're ****ed. I say if you want to upgrade your leather seats go with an alcantara two tone trim.
