Smile What interior piece would you like in Carbon Fiber?

We would like to make a carbon overlay or replacement oem interior piece(s).

Here's some ideas we were tossing around:

Overlay strips of carbon to cover the wood grain trim on the dash..

Arm rest overlay cap? (is it different on the stick/auto)

Rear interior panels on sides of the seats, A,B,C pillar/post interior covers?

Any pieces that have intricate parts or plastic clips will hard to make, we would like to start with something simple or an overlay.

Whichever part gets the most interest that's not too complicated we will try to make and post pictures.

(our donor car is a SC300 manual)

+1 for wood delete
even ones made of fiberglass would be awesome, for painting. (I guess I could paint the wood...but ya, not quite the same)

Replacement wood panels would be excellent followed by some centre console parts.

For the wood would be nice. Like socal300 said, a dash inlay/radio kit would be nice, make one to fit a single and double din.

It would be real carbon and not the sticky flexible dash-kit type of faux carbon. They will have to be installed with a double sided automotive tape most likely. I'll try to make replacement pieces, but if they have complicated clips on the reverse side, then I will have to make overlays.

Looks like everyone would like the interior wood pieces to be made in carbon, I'll start removing them off my SC300 to make molds and let you guys know how they go!

Here's a random picture of a Porsche with a similar thing

xEleventy-billion on the dash/radio piece for single/double/1.5 din. Another vote as well for the wood replacement.
