Interest Poll - Custom Carbon Fiber Interior Trim

[scripting_ninja]

I just wanted to feel out the group to see how many people would consider purchasing a true carbon fiber interior trim kit. Working with a company and have considered going as far as creating legit billet molds for all the pcs pictured below (ie the ones I currently have wrapped in vinyl and the grey parts - all four door handles and l/r gauge cluster pcs). The kit would be real carbon with black fiberglass backing to increase rigidity and easy of forming the OEM mounting points. Again this would NOT be a stick-on veneer rather a true replacement with fiberglass backing a carbon fiber overlay. Estimated cost for all parts would be $1500.00

Would include all four of the grey door handle pcs.

Yeah, I would if the end product is professional-looking and fits properly

 

[scripting_ninja]

Yea it would be in partnership with a company in NC that has been doing this for a long time. It is NOT wet laid carbon fiber by the way.

Looks cool but I could find a better place to spend $1500 on other than on some carbon pieces.... but hey that's just me. Others might eat this up!

I like the idea but not for $1500...I'd rather spend that on something else. Maybe you could sell the pieces individually so people could pick exactly how much they want to spend?

I like the idea of individually selling pieces.

Also how close will the pattern be to the OEM carbon fiber pieces? So could you buy some additional pieces here to further the OEM carbon fiber package?

No, actual carbon fiber trim isn't rice. Adding "carbon look" vinyl wrap is rice...

I'd be interested, but not sure if I'd want everything shown. The dash trim for sure, but on the fence about some of the others. Of course, I could change my mind if I saw it.

 

[Jeff-Ohio]

Just doesn't do anything for me, especially for the money, but I could see others liking it.

 

[BajaLaz]

I would purchase them. Also the handle inserts. Ford does not offer that product separately. They sell everything except the inserts that are included in the cf package

I spoke to the owner of Shadow Craft who will do all of these pieces in *real* carbon fiber to match OEM. He is also doing exterior mirror shells and emblems. I would not do the vinyl or hydrographics route, personally.

My thoughts exactly, if the CF pieces matched the OEM CF I'd likely pick up the door handle covers...not a fan of adding it everywhere but a few "tasteful" additions would be worthwhile. I was also looking a the Interior Accent package brushed aluminum parts, but only the dash panels are available (not the door handle covers)...

 

[JN66]

I am 100% in for this and would pay a deposit in advance if it sped along the process.

Love the look of CF.

 

[turn-r-us]

I would be in as well of it matches the OEM CF pieces

I keep hoping that someone will figure out how to wrap these pieces in leather. In particular, my knee pushes against the piece on the drivers door and I would like something a little softer.

That guy has claims all over the place on forums for being a flake

Its funny you should mention this....I know no one here care about my 302A but I am having a few interior panels wrapped in oem leather to match the dash pads of my Lariat dashboard (yes I have an XLT....long story). I hope to have my parts back from the upholstery shop soon and will post pics. I already have the CF shifter, passenger side applique, and media storage door, and today the Raptor CF door panels arrived. One of the parts I am having wrapped in leather is the large center trim panel that goes around the shifter and cupholder...should look killer. A friend of mine has had his door panel inserts also wrapped in leather. Looks great! I just think the right amount of leather and CF is the way to go with my build.
