You should look at this ... doing carbon fiber is really easy if you have a mold already done (i.e. u are just covering plastic pieces)

I bet your one of those guys with a LEXUS key chain thinking these cars are soooo high end. I love my sc but I dont consider is a luxury car. I think its has the poorest interior in its class. Ive seen toyota with nicer interior options and layouts. But your right to each its own.

I'm interested in carbon fiber covers for the wood on the dash. Currently I have it covered with carbon look tape. Looks okay but I'd like something better.

Luxury is true but the SC = Sports Coupe. All High end "SPORTS cars'" have carbon fiber showing i.e. Aston Matrin, Porsche, Ferrari.

1999 R34 skyline had carbon lip, wing, and rear defuser and interior parts.
Not to mention Lamborghini Diablo with carbon fiber door panels
and Ferrari with carbon parts also in 1999
Is this close enough "Era" for you ?
I think the fact that all these cars were sold and produced in 1999 -2000 in fact puts them in the same era even if the sc was designed earlier.

Can you cover the wood on the dash and doors without taking them out? I guess my question is can you make a kit that covers the wood on the dash and doors?
Oh Calvin, I've seen the kits on exotic wood dash. They don't cover the wood, only the console and shifter. I already have aluminum there.
