Carbon Fiber Interior & Redesign

I love most aspects of our interriors, however I am trying to trim weight while keeping things looking sharp.
As some of you may know I make 1-off microfiber and carbon fiber interrior door panel inserts and armrest/center councils, but I am finally getting my car back from my first stage of tuning, settling into the new house and am ready to refinish the interrior. As I refinish my interrior, help me keep the great stuff and refinish the bad. Pics of other members and other platforms welcome.

I already started making a new CF headliner for another member and myself (from mold not wrap). . I am contemplating a new door design all together which still uses oem buttons

I also started to CF a set of my robo lights to see how they will look on the car

subbed. there was a guy who did cf wrap over 90% of his interior a few years back. i thought it was a little overdone...but had promise. i'm really interested to see what can be done with a new door card. to be honest, i don't know how much CAN be done, since the skeleton dictates a lot as it is. still, it would be nice to have something new/original. shaved door handles & a different style of opening mechanism might be the tits.

Looks great keep it up

Nice. A-pillars? Main gauge cluster bezel?

i would love to see cf inside door handle.

A clean door threshold would be awesome as well.

Great work!

Looking forward to seeing your finished robo modded lights. Should look great!

These parts look great.

We had a customer car in a couple years ago that had a carbon-fiber-looking some-kinda-fabric/vinyl material for the shifter boot that was pretty badazz looking.

I could redesign a pillar but I dont know if that would make much difference as the pillars are already light and any change in shape would only hinder viewing space. 1 other question I have is if I refabricate some A & B pillars how safe is it? I would think it would be ok if I did only 1 layer because of the resin coating process, but with multiple layers and perhaps with 1 I would also like to know how safe this is in case of side collision as the CF splinters.

idk about carbon fiber on this, but if you are into doing interior work, i have always wanted someone to make a steering column top piece that would house a boost controller. like my blitz, or a greddy specII controller. they sit on top of it nicely, but mine is just stuck on with some velcro currently. kinda ghetto.

I am thinking of perhaps re configuring the dash shiter area. Eliminate the ashtray, perhaps change it to a built-in for something? My boost control and meth control I want to keep hidden:suspect:

Pending price and final configuration, I'm interested. Screw the ash tray. Any concept drawings? Good point on the a-pillars, forget those :)

ditch the ash-tray, add cup-holders. :p

iPhone dock instead of ashtray :)

no. because only an iTard would hard-wire retrofit his car to have an apple-specific connector. a REAL man would have a micro-usb port.

keep the ashtray and make it a flipup turbo timer. if you need a turbo timer that is..

Ffs, ipd, stop shitting on this thread.

oh piss off.

here's something someone else did with CF:

I will be attempting to get crafty with a glovebox mount that will secure a laptop when opened. An add in shelf that is removable. Do not like using the seat...

consider using a tablet & something like an otterbox + a body mount (eg: ipad with thigh-mount straps--like some pilots use). this would make it super easy to secure the device & also to remove it easily.

Why would I want something that didn't fit my phone? lol

Thank you for the link IPD the CF door is similar to what i had originally thought of 9which would be relatively simple in comparison to a redesign.
As far as a I phone, I have one but would at most incorporate a usb adaper so that a charger cord can be plugged in and it will be musch more useful. The size of the ashtray holder(without the ashtray inserted) is already the perfect size for an Iphone for thouse of you that dail drive your car. I painted mine satin black and now it fits my wallet/ card cash holder and my i phone perfectly. The little light is annoying though.

I was thinking of incorporating a cupholder or possibly another small storage area with a cover that has simply been cut out. This way I could remount my meth and boost control keeping them hidden, while also enabling me to redesign the center hatch and lid area. I think the time has come to start making some sketches. I need some cool car interiors. I will also be looking to see if this can shave some weight while customizing

Ya I didn't really mean an "dock", just something that looks better than a hole. I used to put my mp3 player/phone in there all the time but it looks stupid. Now I wedge it in the passenger seat but when I have a passenger that obviously makes it a pain. If there was a way to route the audio output in a clean fashion that would be nice opposed to having the headphone jack sticking up in the way of the shifter.

this would definetly be possible.

Have you ever thought about doing the whole steering wheel in CF?

that is pretty impressive that would go down well in uk,never seen it over here welldone.simon

Steering wheel- I have thought about it, but I don't like the dangers since I will be out on the street. Even with a racing harness in my car I don't like that idea. If someone hits you and your head hits the steering area or the wheel brakes, I would assume it would end badly. The most I would think of doing would be a top coat wrapped one and even that would be tricky. You dont want 8000 tiny shards of carbon fiber flying at your face. In my car I think I will be waiting for Josh Mitoska to one day offer a custom OEM rewrap.

You made some very important safety points that I had not considered. Ya, I should have qualified that to mean just wrapping it in CF and not the full structure. Maybe Josh will offer one OEM wrap someday soon, thanks.

This is looking great man!!
