you're better off finding someone local that deals in CF. the big companies are going to want big numbers of orders to even make the template.

i bought the CF dash kit from ebay and it had the door pieces with it. It isn't really that nice of a kit(cracks and fitment is a little off. I plan to get a new kit from joshua tree in january but I guess I will have to keep my door pieces since they are in small supply.

Okay, here's Dan's CF door pillars...





Did you do that with the CF film stuff you can buy?? How is it holding up to the weather?

It is holding up good. I thought it would fall off but it is still on there and I am up at Frostburg State and it snows everyday almost. It is the film but thats ok I like it.

BTW: I live in Maryland and my car is gold. You can check my website out. It is going in the shop on the 21st for a makeover.

that's a sheet of cf like vinyl....you can pick that stuff up at most tuner shops. it looks nothing like real CF if you're planning on using it for a dash kit or something

yeah, it does look cheap when compared to the real thing...

There WAS a person on eBay that was selling the real deal for 4th gens, though.
