Default Carbon Fiber Work

I was reading a post on supraforums, and came across the following:

Seems like they do awesome work.

I know a lot of sc guys wanted cf hoods and trunks, maybe he can beat the price of importfan?

This is the guy that I have been talking about that could start a GB on CF hoods... I talked to him on the phone for 2 hours last weeks and the pics he sent me were amazing. I have NEVER seen CF work like he does. His prices are VERY resonsable beyond what most people would think. I really want to get a GB set up with the mods or make this guy a Approved vendor so he can make stuff for all the platforms. I know he requires a minimum of 5 people to throw away the cost of the mold and make the prices resonable.

here are some pics he sent me... I would HIGHLY reccomend going through the majority of them to see everything he offers. He can do all different colors of carbon kevlar it is cool stuff! I already told him that I would send my hood in to start this and any other parts that needed to be done since I have 2 of most parts of the SC

pics here... http://rise.gamester.net/cfxparts

His work is really good. Now I'm wishing my car was a different color, no way I can get away with CF on it.

I would be interested in replacing the wood trim and plastic console pieces with carbon fiber, than body panels. The shifter area assembly and the flip-up cover for the ashtray, along with the woodtrim pieces along the doors and in the passenger side dash section would make the car look so much better IMO.

Technics, I wouldnt worry about your body color, since it seems like he can lay down tints, etc. I guess this will allow you to select a color that goes well with your car.

I am pretty sure that pricing would be under 600 for a stock replacement CF hood.

Just a heads up, GB is not allowed if the vendor is not CL authorized.
