I would put my name down but would really like to get the dial surround same time since right now they are matching colours and would look dumb otherwise.

Dr_Jones · Post by **Dr_Jones** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 2:38 am

Can this dude make the top part as well that holds the clock etc. At the moment both of those pieces are blue in my car and I think it might be weird having CF only half way. If I could get both I'm in.

khunjeng · Post by **khunjeng** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 7:35 am

ya I tend to agree...If I only get the bottom part in CF and the top stays the same black its gonna be a little anoyying for me to look at...Cos this is "curvey" it might be harder to do..If the price was like < 350 for both i'd be in...

BuCkEt · Post by **BuCkEt** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 10:48 am

That top part that holds the climate control/two dials.....how many of you have actually pulled that out??

It is by no means a small peice of plastic....recreating this in carbon fibre would be difficult and time consuming. Not to mention expensive.

You would be better off buying this peice and then getting the dashboard centre to coat/treat/whatever the upper part, this would keep the costs down but maintain a constant carbon fibre look the whole way up the dash.

EDIT: Hell, come to think of it you could probably do the centre bit, then coat the entire middle console/gearbox tunnel in CF cover to give it a really awesome look!

guys i know the supplier personally and have also got few engine bay bits made from him. the quality of his stuff is good and im sure mickey and bucket could vouce for it too. ive been pestering him to overlay my interior for me for ages. what i would say is get this and overlay just the aircon bit coz makin the top dial bit will be a b****

Are you serious? Oh, my god. I just creamed myself, and I thought that only Kaz's undercarriage would have that effect on me!

How will it clip in? The same as the old one or a different way? What has been about the ashtray area, is it just being removed and replaced with like a flat CF surface??

Infact, I don't even f**king care, JUST SIGN ME UP!

This won't take more then a month will it, because i'm bursting with eager keeness to have one of these babies in my car. I still have a few issues but, especially the one about how it will clip in? I mean, currently my broken surround is held in with cable ties quite securely (all the clips are snapped) but i'd prefer something easier to manage.

Postage will be a little expensive, it goes on cubic volume, not weight. So while the surroudn may weigh a couple of hundred grams the cost will be calculated on something mayb 4 - 5kilos ish. And it will need to be well secured.

In summary, oh god GIMME GIMME GIMME!

lol scarecrow...

this group buy will def go ahead once i get 5. YES - 5!

So 1 more, and wer alrdy on our way there.

Getting the top part in made in CF will be damn expensive, and i doubt that it can even be made, because theres simply too many curves. CF does not bend easily...

Guys, ill talk to him and see what he says. I will also try to find out how much it will cost to get it posted to each state.

But for now, this is how it stands:

$150 - Carbon Fibre Surround

1. Scarecrow

2. Timmy D

3. Breza

4. Leigh

5.

PS: For those who are deciding - just to speed things up - i say this will remain open for another week. Thanx.
