What's up guys i finally got my cf pieces from tylor at tcarbon.com ( big thanks btw!), this is the first set and will be released to the public shortly. I opted to get the kind where you install the cf yourself so i didnt have to do a core exchange ... sorry no install pix yet, but im just really excited so I posted a little teaser , I'll take more pics when I get these pieces on my car. I'm also going to have some cf mirrors which are complete replacements coming in soon!

Look very nice, so the e-brake cover is a piece of CB sticker? The overlay for shift **** is interesting, double size taped to the existing leather ****?

Wow, those are some pretty cool looking pieces. I met Tyler (owner of tcarbon) online at Audiworld - he was interested in my old TT at one time as a car to mod with some of his products. Nice to see that it looks like he got his business off the ground!

Oh please.....stick-on items

Is this post veiled as an AD???

Shame shame

In that case, doesn't it add weight?

Coochas

The way I look at it is that CF interior pieces are simply a look/style that some people like. Even if the interior part are replacements, the weight savings is trivial.
Porsche isn't selling OEM parts like a CF shift **** in the interest of weight savings!
CF body part such as doors, fenders and hoods are a different story.

Yes it does add about 2lb total. Same with the oem CF stuff. The only difference is that the oem cf is laminated on the oem interior pieces, but both have Cf overlayed on top. Oem cf isn't made of pure carbon fiber. I know a lot of people prefer replacements which I think he'll be releasing to give people a choice but I wanted to save some money and time and just went for these overlays so that I wouldn't have to deal with a core exchange.

J/K on the weight, of course. $4K for a CF hood is even tough to swallow with performance benefits. For reference, about how much are we talking for a reasonably complete set (or a little less) like 997driver posted (non stick-on)? IMHO, a piece here or there looks out of place. You'd have to do a fair amount to look "integrated" like it was supposed to be there.
