My latest custom creations from Marcus. I think this now makes 30 individual pieces of interior carbon fiber and 3 for the engine bay (Hester bypass, Electrical cover RHS cover and now rear electrical cover as pictured below). Additionally a CF strut brace under front hood. For those that have missed my project thread then also below pictures of CF transmission cover and Fuel pump cover. Much lighter than factory and although you dont see them other than on the hoist very cool. All CF is factory T equipment or "made by marcus". Although its all been "reasonably priced" you could still by a small South Amercian Village with the out lay LOL!

If your interested contact Marcus. I cant recall the prices.

Cheers

Or I'll just have to convert to 2WD!!!

I would like the two tunnel pieces in fiberglass or CF, because they actually save weight (as opposed to the all-show, no-go stuff).

Center console...and make it flat and not glossy, and make it "batphone" console style. I am also in Hong Kong...are you using a local shop for fabbing? TW in Kowloon has made some nice stuff for Exige/Exlise.

That's what I'm screamin'. CF is interesting, but I don't particularly love the look (for interior accessories). Slather everything in black leather for me please.

Same here! Interesting to note that the Singer car has CF fenders, hood but has no trace of CF in the interior. Leather for me too for the interior

Those Elise/exige stuffs are produce by my friends and Yes I am using the same source. Will definitely added the Tunnel to my list. All stuff would provide two diff options, Dry / Wet Carbon.

Not real CF, but I have gloss-finish CF-look RS door panels and interior door handles in my 964 and they look great.

I'm actually glad Singer didn't expose any CF.. wouldn't look right on his cars...
I personally don't really care for "trim pieces". If that's what you're gonna
make, that's cool, but I would be interested in CF to replace steel parts.

I too love our black leather interiors

On that note I don't really like shiny trim rings on gauges either.

I also don't like the trim rings.

As a note, this guy has one of the best uses of CF, I think. He has a hood and decklid that are CF and covered with a dark clear coat so you can just barely make out CF. Looks tasty on his black car!!

Care to share some pics?
