    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.

    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
