FYI...there is a lot of interest right now for high quality/affordable CF or color match replacements kits for the plastic pieces in the interior of the car. I'm talking about the trunk panels, rear strut panels, rear glovebox area panels, center consoles, door accents, etc...) Just in case you're looking into what to make next .

LOL. Amen to the wet/dry, but based on the shine it looks like wet carbon.

Yep. Looks like wet carbon. Now, before I start getting my hopes up...could you please explain your process on how you put these bad boys together & what kind of quality we are looking at.

make the hood a lil bit darker then the color of the car it self. If the car is red, do a red CF hood but make the hood a few shades darker red. Ive seen this on a few cars and it looks freakin hot.

Some are carbon fiber and Texallium. Texallium was reserved for the most advanced space and aircraft programs but now we use it in the automotive industy. This revolutionary material is composed of stranded Aluminum Fibers impregnated into a uniform textile matrix; creating an amazing woven aluminum fabric.

PPW is the acronym for Pikes Peak White, the factory color on white 350z's.

Yes but in most cases the pricing is a bit steep. If you can make very competitive pricing on these same parts, I've already run into members that are more than willing to purchase these things (specifically the center console). Also, there are plenty options already out there on CF engine parts but not color matching ones...hint hint .

I wouldn't mind seeing a complete inside door panel cover.
