Default Custom CF shops?

I'm thinking about doing some custom parts in CF and wanna get in touch with a shop.

Does anyone on here know of any in the area?

There is a DIY thread in the 2gen ISx50 section that shows how to do this yourself and you cant tell the difference if you are up for the challenge. I would like it done to my car but the issue I have is the steering wheel is wood also so it limits me. Go check it out

Where are pics of your car with rims on it?? send it to my email since I cant make the meet

^ Sure. It'll be a long drawn out process though since I'll still need my car up and running. I foresee chaos...
