Carbon fiber
While looking for new wheels for my car I happened upon a whole factory carbon fiber kit. I’m not sure what it’s sorth though.
what do you folks think is fair?
The cluster surround, ebrake, steering wheel, shift **** lower radio piece and two door sills.

Nothing. It's cracked and in rough shape.

did you already purchase it? do you plan to sell it?
I would venture a guess around $200 but I think that is widely subject to interpretation

I was going to say "not much", but Bill beat me to it with his much more concise answer 
more diplomatically I'd say it's not worth the difficulty of the work you'll have to do to fit it. I certainly wouldn't spend any more than what Joe suggested above...

The carbon almost always cracks. BUT I would be willing to take the steering wheel! I would have it refurbished to match my interior.

The steering wheel and the shift know are in quite good shape (You would need to recover the steering wheel leather), the strips that goes along the dash also look good and are a direct replacement and subtle touch.
If you can ge the 3 stripes of the dash, the steering wheel and the shift **** for 150-200$ it would be a good deal for me.

Carbon fiber is simple to restore. I’ve done it a thousand times. I don’t think you guys are being realistic. I’m also not sure where you see not in good shape in the images.
The steering wheel alone is worth a few Benjamin’s.
i offered a fair price and paid a fair price. Is going to look good in my grey cabriolet.

If it makes you happy, buy it and use it and don’t look for validation online. The carbon fiber parts are a small fortune new, and valuable used if in good condition to a buyer that likes them. We’ve seen CF shift ***** alone sell for many hundreds on this forum. On the other hand, they’re worthless if you don’t care for the look. These parts are worth exactly what a willing buyer is paying a willing seller, no more, no less.

I was just trying to address that they worth something, 200$ would be a really good deal. Up to that, it depends on how much you are willing to pay but keep in mind that those pieces are far than perfect and they need to be restored.

So far I am happy with it. It’s going to look good in my car. I won’t be using the sill plates for sure.
The shift **** is totally awesome. It needs nothing a couple of cracks but when installed you don’t see them. I am selling the steering wheel but I ain’t giving it away. I don’t agree with the lame appraisal from the peanut gallery.
