Hey kevin... or anyone with a cf interior...

i am thinking of gettinga few carbon fiber pieces done for our cars.. i may be able to contact a custome carbon fiber maker that makes excellent work .

im thinking of gettinga cf armrest doen for our cars... expecially since we can get the center console panel iin cf, but porsche does not make one for the center armrest...

here is an armrest he made for amn 89 toyota supra , the quality looks great..



here's aother pic of it..



he would probably need a sample of an armrest, i will donote mine to be the sacrificial lamb , and probbaly a sample of the type fo weave that we want, i can send him my cf shifter for a reference..

on thing i need to know is if the weave of teh center console is the same as the weave ont he shiftknob, i want the weave for the panel to be exactly of very close to teh tequipment carbon fibe parts...

what do you say guys...

ill try to contact him to get more details..

 

I'd be very interested in getting some carbon fiber pieces. I've actually been looking for someone who lays carbon fiber. Where does this guy you know work out of? i'd like to make a few other pieces also.

 

Joe you will have to remove your entire center console to get the lid off.. Im pretty CF'd out.. I think it might be to much CF for my car... thanks though

 

Count me in. You can never have too much cf.

 

Go smoke a cigarette and have another go at it!

 

Your right what the hell was I thinking! Bring it on!

 

the thing with the prices that i found for cf parts for porsche cars have been very expensive... really expensive.

If succesful we can have the same quality as the tequipment cf parts but with less money....

the guy that i am talking to is in canada..

he is very meticolous, is very quality conscous, he can also make any custome cf parts that we want form , inside door panels or to what ever we want...

if succesful with the center arm rest console we can get other custom pieces doen in cf..

mygoal is to be for us to get quality cf parts for a reasonable price...

 

im glad your in kev, i know that you are the mod king.. you cna't be done with your car...

i will be talking to him more and i will personally send out my center armrest to be the test mule....

we may have to do a group buy of at least 5 people...
if that is opkay with you guys...

 

Hey, I just spoke to Matt at Meridian and he said he sell the cf armrest for approx $650 but if we do a group buy it should be around $450 and some change. What do you guys think.

 

wow 450 bux for the armrest... ill ask the gu if he can beat that price...

650 or 450 i think that's a huge amount of money...

 

Welcome to the drug called CF

 

Kevin,
It's not a drug.
It's a lifestyle.
Ciao

 

Sounds like a commerical!! I like it!

 

hey kevin...

can you please do me a favor, is it possible if you can take a picture of your rear center console upclose, i want to show the guy, how bug the weave is and how the pattern moves, so that he can make the armrest weave in the same direction..

also i didnt haveto take out the whole armrest, what i did is just took tle cover piece out of the armrest it was only like 8 torx screws.. hopefully we can get it below the 200.00 range... i will try to make it so that it is a replacemnt piece of the top part, then we can just screw it back again with the original bottom piece of the arm rest... i beleiev we can save some $$$ on that...

please e-mail me the pics at clkracer1@aol.com

thanks.. or if anyone has close ups of the center rear console in cf i would appreciate please email them to me...

 

Email sent.... also as I mentioned in the email I'd like to have a CF non smokers ash tray and door plug (for console).. See what he would charge for that..
