![Question](https://my350z.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I like the way the 2 popular CF dash kits look, but I would not use them on my car. Something about sticking stuff on top of other stuff doesn't appeal to me.
Does anyone know of a company that makes replacement parts mad out of CF?

The following companies all do lamination in real carbon fiber. The first 2 produce items for the Z. Others will be custom projects. Get your wallet ready; it is not cheap. Prices range from $1k to upwards of $4k. Some are better than others.

Thier overlay kit is real CF and it's priced really well.
BTW, elegantwooddesign is a fake and expensive overlay.

I just figured I would throw this out there..
Pretty much, as Ron said, no on makes a CF replacement kit for the 350. IT is an EXTREEMLY expensive product at this point and I don’t think the market has show companies enough interest to spend $3-5,000 on some interior replacement parts.
I have spoken to a # of smaller companies and if you can get them the carbon fiber cloth, they can make fiberglass molds and blend it with the CF cloth to give you a real CF coating, but the base would be a custom fiberglass mold. This appears to be the best option. If you are looking for dry carbon, good luck and Godspeed because that is gonna cost you a left nut.![Smilie](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I like the Valence USA company and will give then a call today just out of curiosity. Hey they are not too far from me either... Hum... Damn you Ron, I thought I was pretty much finished... this might be another $10k I need to spend to get the interior 'bling' I have been striving for... LOL
Ron, thanks for the lookout man. I have never seen this company before.

BTW, I'm at work and I can't get thier website up on my work computer.

Hey, I was able to get on the website and where does it have a real CF dash kit?
I looked at the pricing list and it lists alot of things in real CF but not a dash kit. It looks like the dash kit is only available in CF print, unless perhaps they do it custom or something.

You will need to sent me your original parts. Takes 3-4 weeks.
