Default LOOK -->

Was doing the usual kill time at work looking at Porsche website when I came across the website www.nize944.de Even though I don't speek let alone read German I managed to find some pictures of carbonfibre B-pilar replacements with the porsche logo set into them.

Well I copied the text from the page and translated it with Altavista translation tool but it didn't tell me much info!

I personlly think they are a nice touch and want to get a set but don't kknow where to buy them from.... Does anybody know or allready have a set and what do you all think...

See pictures below:

I really don't like carbon fiber-look on mid-80s cars. Just looks out of place. Actually I don't like unpainted carbon fiber in general.

The Porsche crest is a nice touch, though.

it's a sticker, not a replacement. about $10 will buy you a carbon sheet and two crests to do it yourself.

Mike... I know what you mean about the sticker carbon sheets but it does look a bit to shinny for that cheap stuff and the porsche crest looks as if it is actually under a top coat of laquer. Even so I still like the look and personalised effect!

I have also seen on the german ebay.de a comapny selling carbon dash kits for LHD cars... See link below:

that particular item looks as though someone has actualy custom made it in the same way as the dash kit you posted. I was just saying the same sort of effect could be made with off the shelf bits. IMHO, the one in the picture doesn't even fit well.

I have seen a complete REAL carnbon fibre top dash cover fitted to a LHD 968 which looked incredible. The owner said that he purchased it in the states for about $1500.00 if I remember correctly...

I'll dig out a picture for you all!

Those would look very cool painted black with the crest.
