Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass headliners

The pics below are not for Maxima's, but I am here to gauge the intrest of Maxima owners of these headliners. Please send me an e-mail if you would be intrested in these. I have never done a poll, but I am going to give it a shot. When emailing me, please be sure to state the year of your vehicle and if it is equiped with or without a sunroof. I work directly with the manuf. and have a strong pull to have these made if you are intrested enough. The pic below is not of your car, just an example.

Price range would be $275-$300 for Fiber Glass and $450-$500 for Carbon Fiber. If there is enough intrest I will have these made and post and exclusive Maxima.org GB and that should lower the prices

The manuf is currently working on just headliners at the time. I have discussed with him the possibility of door panels. Do not look for them in the near future though. Sorry

Here we go guys....

To have these made for the Max, we need the following.

5 people that want to order the same headliner and are ready to make a deposit of $100. (i.e. 3'rd gen with sunroof)

The first person that is willing to send in their headliner and pay shipping as well as the deposit, will recieve $75 off their new headliner and we will pay for shipping back to you.

Looks cool and that one looks like it's made well. Not sure if I could dish out 500 bucks for one though. Awesome idea though.

well, the headliners do look great. but will they turn yellow (as someone has already asked) or are they going to have the same UV treatment as a carbon fiber hood. i know it's not on the outside (it doesn't even face the sun for that matter), but jus' curious. also, it would be kind of funny to have a carbon fiber headliner, but all the door pillars (a-pillar and mid-pillar and rear-pillar) are still stock....jus' a thought. however, it does look good though. let me know when you will have some for 2k2's (5th gen) w/sunroof.

Im not going to say that in 20 years they wont turn, but as long as you own the car and dont smoke, then you shouldnt have a problem. The tar from smoking would be the only thing that would turn them, but just a little bit of soapy water on a rag should take car of that.

well, i don't smoke in the car so i'm not worried about that. what actually turns them yellow is the UV from the sun. that kind of discoloration could happen in as little as 2-3 months!

We have the following deposits...

3'ed Gen with sunroof - 1

If you have the same model and want this, just send in deposit. Once we have 5 deposits, we will make the mold.

We do not have any pics for any of the Maxima's. They have not been made yet. Carbon Fiber pricing should not get over $550 shipped. I do no think that it will get anywhere close to there. For example a 4 door Honda Civic in Carbon Fiber is $500 shipped and that is an individual price. The reason that we are asking for 5 is because that way we can break even on the mold and we can also allow better pricing.

We do not accept paypal. What I would do if you dont want to wait, get all your buddies that you know that want one. The deposit is also good for Fiberglass or Carbon Fiber. There is no cut-off date. You can check the following link to know how mand deposits have been recieved http://www.aggressiveimports.net/deposits.htm
