2G: Carbon Fiber Interior Pieces!!

[tristanmb81]

I don't know if this was posted before but, I managed to stumble upon this site that has carbon fiber interiors. Check it out! Don't let those prices discourage you because it is costly when it comes to building carbon fibers. I hope you all like it?

Mitsubishi Eclipse Carbon Fiber

not too shabby, but only a headliner for 1g's

[Project2G]

thanks for sharing. I like topshopcarbon.com

[DWR-DSM]

The headliner is serious.

I was actually just looking for a brand new carpet for my 2g gst because, I'm wrapping my interior panels with suede and making my own carbon fiber pieces.

That's sweet! I've seen some cf parts on ebay also. One of them was a center console, looked really slick

yea i agree im wanting the same thing have u found one yet?

Do you even have an idea a carbon fiber roof skin price will run vs the demand... Its not something the average DSMers will upgrade to.. You can have a custom carbon fiber shop custom make it, but I bet it will run in the 3-4k range.

I'm getting a vauge link.

Would be freaking sweet tho.

[Calan]

is a "vauge link"?

[Bud92gsx]

Sorry default eclipse link,Is that better..Vauge,Yeah I spelled that right..No I'm getting a Vag link

[Calan]

I'm so lost... I give up.

[Bud92gsx]

Not one of these things \;/. that looks alot better as a clan tag playing cod than on a forum..Ehhhhh.

A Honda S2000 carbon fiber hardtop price will run in the 3k range.. Having a custom roof skin for the Eclipse will run for atleast 4k if not more, then installing it will probably run upwards of 1k. Probably this will range around 5-8k... I dont think its even worth it...

[gofer]

This guy fiberglassed his, just not sure how much structural integrity was compromised doing it.

They run that price for the S2K because they are somewhat structural on the car. Not just a "Skin" like ours. There is no way that it would ever exceed 1500 for one to be made and to be installed. The problem is, how do you install it cleanly when we do not have a completely divided roof. That is why they dont make them

On a spyder or race car only yes the thing that Corey posted would be sick..Like having a targa top for a spyder would be sweet.

On a street car, your in a tin can if flipped...Scrap that, tin can with fiberglass or CF for a roof..

[gofer]

If I fiberglassed my roof and ran CF doors you can bet your ass the cage that went in my car (while the roof was off) would look something like this. At least you'd survive if the heap rolled, I wouldn't be sacrificing my life for 30lbs.

[Calan]

I thought that was your car.

[dsmornothing]

I know there is a roof out there for the EVO guys. With them I know they leave all structural supports in and you replace the tin with some Fiberglass wrapped in carbon fiber. Essentially just as strong seeing as the roof its self is not spot welded to the beams. So there for is not really a structural piece.

Agreed! That fiverglass roof doesn't look safe at all.
