Anyone with experience with MA Carbon

Hey All,

I'm halfway through the planning stage for an interior overhaul in my car (what material, which pieces, pricing out, etc). While I always like the idea of OEM over anything (maybe a bad habit, not sure) the MA Carbon parts look to be of extremely nice quality, have a couple awesome pieces not done by Porsche, and offer a matte finish that is much more to my preference. My car already has the full leather interior so I really only want to replace things that are plastic. What are your experiences with MA Carbon? I have fantastic guys to do the install, so that isn't an issue. Thanks in advance.

-Alex

NJTarga4 is infamous around these parts

I have purchased a number of pieces from them, all high quality and well finished. The carbon fibre is laid down in Belgium I think so turnaround time can be a few weeks. They are board sponsors and communication has been excellent.

I met Lane while at SEMA, stand up guy and is there rep on these boards. I got a chance to put my hands on their product and compare them with some of the OEM pieces. First, the color is far superior then what OEM provides. It is a much nicer neutral color, where the OEM has this green tint to them.

The overlays they make are top notch. They go through a lot of R&D to produce the pieces they make, including taking OEM pieces to make molds and ensure proper fitment and installation.

They are not a big company, small business that caters to a very niche market, so they have to rely on great customer service to keep their customers happy and coming back for more. Not to mention, there is no one that has a larger catalog of product for these cars.

After talking with them in person and seeing their products first hand, I think you will find that you can rely on their products. Have you seen the lengths they go to for directions and installs, this speaks volumes on the type of business they run!

Thanks for the info guys. Skizot, very cool that you got to meet with them. The more I look at their products, the more convinced I am to go with them. Not to mention the price is fantastic compared to OEM. I also love that they provide pieces not offered by OEM. All plastic must go!

No problem, as I said, Lane is on these forums. He is totally open to any questions and you can easily contact him via PM. I think you will find their products to be excellent. I wish I had the money to invest in going all CF.

I'm totally sold...gonna drop Lane a PM and talk about what I'm looking for. I've always had great experiences with small companies that love and believe in what they do...the extra connection they make with the customers is felt and appreciated. I'm also hoping he may be able to entertain a left of center idea that i'd like to make happen. Many thanks to all those who chipped in.
