I can just imagine to do your whole interior must cost way over $1,000 dollars and what do you get out of it? Just RICE POINTS IMO. No weight reduction just wannabe carbon fiber. I guess its cool if your trying to portray that image, maybe you guys should try hitting up the CIVIC forums and you might have better luck there? They like all that "fake" stuff...

Good stuff...........
Jusy my .02 - I ordered several pieces from the fellas @ SuiteEgraphx and the quality is as good as I've seen on CF & CF replicas. I was very happy with the b-pillar, mirror & emblem inserts and will be ordering interior pieces this winter. Keep up the great work!!

Anything more than 'I like it' or 'I don't like it' is immaterial to my needs as a paying sponsor here. Yeah we do Civics. And we do Lamborghinis too. Same 'fake' way every time. After all it is just a look. A fashion. Like anything else. Just different. But never RICE.

Its fake carbon fiber painting? Or correct me if im wrong, what is it? Ive seen pictures of a Lamborghini with air ride, and wheel spinners your point? Its a shame for that owner all that money invested on a nice car and you can't squeeze a few thousand to have REAL carbon... But to each their own, just like you say its a FAD just like ALTEZZA tailights were... Maybe if your prices weren't so high I would think different. But some parts you guys paint I have seen real carbon for a lot cheaper and looks real, its like im paying more for painted carbon fiber than real?? BTW I like your other colors like blue, red, and even yellow to personalize your car. Thats neat!

SuiteFX's stuff is top-notch in terms of workmanship and visual appeal (I don't even own any of thier products but I will readily admit this). Their kits are for looks, but so are bodykits, lambo doors, and most wheel/tire combos. Real CF would be more expensive, look worse (b/c the grain is not perfect) and would only save you a few pounds since the Z's plastic is already so damned thin. If anyone can show me real CF that looks as good as SuiteFX's stuff at the same cost, I'll order it right now.

Whoever is bashing their product just haven't seen it in person yet. I had them spray both of my pillars (custom gauge pod that I made and the other side) and they are immaculate and I still yet to find someone that couldn't discern from it being painted on or real until I point it out. They do excellent work!

I'm not a fan of carbon fiber, but... I saw a Lemans at the NOPI nationals today, which I believe had Pinnacle's interior, as noone else that I know of makes the full wrapped cf interior look. Fake or not, it looked really nice. Good work!

let's face it, the z interior while well designed imho is made of cheap, boring materials. if you've ever seen the console done by suite e fx in person compared to the stock one you would wonder if nissan was just cutting corners when it came to the stock interior. this isn't a performance mod either, so whether its real cf or not is kinda pointless. i would understand if someone did the exterior of the car like this, but the interior needs all the help it can get. not to be a mag racer but every review i read about the z seems to agree with this. wonderful bang for buck, but way to cheap materials for a 30k car. also, you can get the console painted to match the color of your color/metallic/etc. so you dont have to go with the cf look.
