Thanks, and I am really sorry it has taken this long to get this one out; these projects always take longer than you think... In the future I will have to force myself to be very conservative when it comes to these projects...

Hey Cortc what are the possibilities of having the entire PLASTIC part of the dash not the vinyl done in carbon fiber. The area where the nav screen is and all above and around the radio?

If no one would be willing to do it I would understand because I don't see most people wanted to trick their 8 out with all carbon fiber inside. How hard is it to work with this material?

THanks,
brian

It can be a pain; working with CF that is, I will be doing the plastic trim around the door handles and the outside mirror covers next... I like the piano black trim so I do not have any plans to do those... Their are a few companies that produce the stick on CF dash kits for the RX8...

Are you saying you are doing the door handle cover and window/locks panel done in real carbon fiber? I think I would be neat...expensive, but neat.

Just tracked the UPS shipment and they are scheduled to be delivered on the 28th... I will have the boxes ready this weekend and the labels, so all I have to do is inspect, prep, box and off they go... I should be able to get them out on Wednesday the 2nd of March...
