Default Carbon Fiber stuff

Does anyone know where I could buy Carbon Fiber pieces that would go over the wood door panels and the wood center console piece (5 pieces in all)??? I'm assuming theyd jus be the stick on variety with double sided tape. I'd like to get those pieces so it could match my CF dash kit and MOMO shift ****. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

www.wooddash.com...I've seen serveral different kits on there and they don't look so hot. It looks OBVIOUSLY like a overlay/STICKER even though it's real CF...and it doesn't necessarily cover up all the wood (like on the ashtray, when it's opened, you can see the wood edge and you can see the CF Sticker that's on top...just an observation...

That's true. I've also seen the carbon fiber interior in GS. It's not as good as I thought. In fact, I'd rather stay in OEM style.

Some custom made REAL CF would look pretty nice in a GS.

Saw this guy post an ad on Supra Forums...said he can make any pieces as good as Toyota OEM in carbon fiber.

I have NO idea if he is any good or even legit but here is the email he posted:

Impulse_Performance@hotmail.com

He is in Dallas.

Good luck.

Ryan
