There are some interior peices that I would like to have the CF look to. I believe there is a stick on product that looks like CF.
Can anyone give me some details? Can you do it yourself or is it best applied by an experienced hand? Cost?
AW/whiteZ-28 10-03-2003, 10:34 AM I got a roll of about 4x2 feet of carbon fiber vinyl its ****ing hard as hell to work with though :mad: but I did my radio bezel in it and covered my friend's stainless steel nitrous switch plate that I made with it :thumb: Looks good :bow: I can't think of anything else I want to do with it I'm not doing my interior with it though
I'm getting that "covered" somewhere

damn, thats a job well done right there
pu12en12g 10-03-2003, 03:57 PM Yeah it costs $1 per square inch for the fake stuff :eek:
onoiocoko 10-03-2003, 04:04 PM i hope ur not talking about the do it ur self vinyl that is basically like a sticker? todds looks really good and if the do it ur self can turn out as close as that or shine like that then maybe, but the cheesey stuff that u can buy by the role at auto zone is crap and looks dull. not really carbon fiber look, just vinyl with designs on it really.
Fastbird93 10-03-2003, 05:00 PM Doesn't RK Sport still offer the "kit" which is essentially most removeable interior pieces that have been overlayed with Carbon Fiber. I've seen it in a guys car I work with. Damn beautiful, but damn expensive too.
97TA-WS6-Con 10-03-2003, 06:38 PM Yup, that is just the look I'm going for on Todd's car.
I forgot he had that done. I guess I should get in touch with him.

Where can I get the vinyl?
Mirrorsaw 10-04-2003, 10:40 AM Now how the hell do you actually DO all those parts, considering all the curves and such, and if he is using a flat roll of vinyl..
Fastbird93 10-04-2003, 12:20 PM I believe that if you heat it that it will stretch to a point.

I don't think that that is vinyl it looks like he sent them off to get painted with a carbon fiber look from this site http://www.exoticwooddash.com/
I got the vinyl from a local custom car audio store "crank it up car audio"
ledfootz28 10-05-2003, 01:34 PM i think the rksport kit is molded into the shape of the interior pieces and they just stick on i guess.i dunno it seems like a good idea,its real carbon fiber and not the cheesy stuff.and i think its under 200 for all the interior pieces
ledfootz28 10-05-2003, 01:36 PM damn i just checked out that link above dashkits.net adn their brushed aluminum is the kit im goin with.i love that brushed look

They have 2 different kits, here is a shot of the more expensive "kit" that I have.......and yes, it's molded real Carbon Fiber that glues over your existing stock pieces......

Mirrorsaw 10-05-2003, 07:56 PM What do you guys prefer? Brushed aluminum or carbon fiber? I was even thinking about painting alot of the interior sebring silver (or whatever's closest to that i can get) with a clear coat on top. What would you guys think of that?
AW/whiteZ-28 10-05-2003, 10:35 PM If your car is silver I would paint some parts silver and do other parts carbon fiber or incorporate silver and carbon fiber into each peice you do
97TA-WS6-Con 10-05-2003, 11:46 PM Blu Beast: I could not find anything on the RK Sport site that showed they did these CF pieces. How much are we talking?
Q? Blue Beast RU Todd?

I believe (if they haven't moved it) it's on the last page of the appearance part of the Camaro section.......it's in the 2003 Camaro catalog that they sent me in the mail, you might just call and ask for one........the "kit" is $600, but they had a sale on it for $475, but that might still be going on.....
Oh, and no, Todd is Todd........I'm Chris......:D
Todd did his at exoticwooddash.com, they cover stock pieces whole so it's more "finished" than a glue on kit, but it's a "look", not the real deal....
350 HRSS 10-06-2003, 11:37 AM I bought a kit about 2 years ago, and I can't remember the name of the company. But they were excellent to work with, and very quality pieces. It was the 3D REAL carbon fiber. I paid $160 shipped for it. I even messed up a piece, and they sent me another FREE ;)
It was easy to apply, and I used a hair dryer to warm both surfaces. Cleaned the surfaces w/ alcohol. The kit contained like 10 pieces or so. I had ordered a dash overlay off Ebay, and it matched perfectly.
The kit is quality, and has lasted through COLD winters, and HOT summers :)
Maro98 10-06-2003, 10:08 PM pu12en12g do you know where Todd had those done, and how much it cost?

i thought RKsport stopped making them because of the quality, they were claiming like real italian carbon fiber used in exotic cars when in actuality they would crack an warp, dont hold me to this tho its somethin i just heard around the board

He said it cost around $1500 I believe
It is $1 per square inch
hey01 11-16-2003, 03:16 PM are there carbon fiber interior replacement peices???
not overlayed on the stock. but real 100% carbon fiber replacement.
Drumhawk 11-17-2003, 05:51 AM I've seen pics of the carbon fibre before and I wasn't sure how I felt about it. The look is growing on me and the accents look great. These kits vary in price and how hard is the installation? Shaun, if you find a great deal on them let me know, maybe we can do a group buy? I like the side of the front console carbon fibred cause then the seat belt latch wont scratch the side of the console. Awesome appearance mod. :bow:
