RKsport has some, but wants almost $600 for them. Does anyone know of a place to get molded carbon fiber dash parts cheaper?

I am going to be doing it myself but it is a pain in the a$$ working with that stuff if you dont want creases in it. Plus I need to get a bigger vaccum bag before I start because the dash is too big for the bag at my school. You can try it if you want. just go to any aircraft supply store and pick up the material, resin, and you will need to vaccum all the air out till it dries(about 24 hours). If you do this be very careful because the edges of the fibers will cut like a serated razor. Well I guess if you dont have the vaccum pump it would be cheaper to buy the parts already made.

They used to be wrapped factory pieces, but now they're molded pieces that stick on top of the factory pieces.

What all do they give you for 600$?

Thanks for the help. They give you the trim around the air vent, audio controls, around the guages, door handles, and around the auto window controlls, and part of the center piece around the cup holder and ash tray. Not really worth all that money to me.
