will you guys be cutting out the whole for the oil cap, and/or the bolt holes? or is the the buyers job?

looks great, but I dont see it enough, if I wanted to save weight Id remove it altogether.

now since theres no doubt here that you guys are great CF molders. can we talk about a dash kit? atleast I see that every day.

Thats Cool

But remember that is not REAL Carbon fiber or Grade A as there calling it now

That is a wet laminate piece (carbon fiber over thin fiberglass)
and there is velcro on the backside that you put over your original cover

Now the Z logo I thought it would be cool because the Z logo is all over the car but it wasn't in the engine bay.

So that is why I put in there

Oh yes the holes we will be cut that was just a prototype I just pulled it out of the autoclave.

So production will be trimmed


As for the dash

It is in the works stay tuned you guys have seen my work so far i think your impressed

Planning on the dash to look just like the carbon package in a 911

you can always tell a quality peice of carbon fiber work by the weave. That has one of the best weaves I have seen. Its almost straight as an arrow. if oyu look at the other one, you can see how uneven the weave is.

Very nice work!

I agree, the difference between the two is night and day. The difference is, this is a quality true carbon fiber piece and that is why it can be used as a direct replacement for the factory cover. Not just layed over the stock piece.

that would be hell of nice, i been waiting for hella long for some one to do a real carbon fiber dash kit. I hate those sticky add on crap. If your going to do carbon fiber, do it rigth. Thanks for working on it. Tell me when it's done. I'll be sure to hit you up for the kit.

Parker,

Would you please give some more info on the process your company uses? For example, is this a Dry Carbon process?

The piece looks nice. I look forward to your further updates.

Question

Okay.............Can we get PRICING Already? I did not see on the link either. And anyway, we're over here! Surely we can get a "Group Buy" going on over here as well....Aren't we worth it?
Let me know.........I want one.
