Ducts without lights would be nice. But the problem is getting the right mold.

Guys, I don't want to take anything away from this thread.

Years ago, I used to sell CF BMW parts, imported quite a bit & had others made locally.

Well, using my old connections, my old CF guy is currently making me some interior parts. I was suppose to get them 2 weeks ago, but his dad just had a stroke, & he had to go to take care of him. Long story short, they should be here any day now, & should match up to the stock weave. The parts will be covered stock parts, so you remove your stuff, send in, gets covered, then sent back.

He can't do the dash unless we send him a dash, basically he can do anything we send him. I will make a new post about it when my parts get here & are installed.

Here is some of his work.....

I might start with brake ducts for now. Then move to the interior parts . I have to gather some parts for mold. I will buy a set of Turbo S ducts from the dealership to make the perfect fit. I will start a new thread to gather interest. Here are some of the photos of my guys work.

High on my wish list would be a CF center console along the lines of the factory "bat phone" console or the Gemballa version. Large enough with room for 2-3 extra gauges (why doesn't the 993 have a voltmeter? even econo-cars have em), a NAV screen and/or a Bearcat as well as the factory switches.

If you guys are doing a group buy I need the switch surround and bucket for my turbo. Not sure if the one I added is correct. It needs to replace the pieces in the picture.

I have the recaro sportster CS seats in the car. Nobody makes a bracket to fit these seats. I found out that if I take a Stable energies extinguisher mount for a 964/993 and modify it slightly it works perfectly.

I flipped it over on the bottom part there are 2 pads on either extension the right distance back that you can grind a 1/8" off to make fit into the U channel under the seat. I then drilled into the U channel and tapped it using long machine screws. This fit perfectly although I added a series of jam nuts on the end of the screws to guaranty it stayed in place. I needed to bend the mount about 4-5 degrees forward but it looks perfect and is easily accessible.

I don't have pictures of the install but here is what it looks like from above and as you can see I have easy access to the slide bar. You can actually reach the bar from any point and lift to make the seat move it is just not obvious it is there.

Back to the CF group buy.
