I love Carbon Fiber!

[midnightfxgt]

Hey Guys,

These are teaser pics of the CF Interior. Carbon Fiber is CRAZY hard to photograph, and the pics I am taking dont do it justice. I want to snap some in the sun, with no flash, maybe that will be better:bana

Anyways, a GB thread on this will be posted soon, so be patient, while I try and find some cores.

Pics:

DAMN! That looks amazing!

[S.F.W.]

looks, sick! Must have

[midnightfxgt]

Looks 100x better in person. The black on black is a REALLY subtle look, and exotic looking. I love it more than I thought I would :)

[azn_outlaw]

OH GOD that is sweet....

but you know what I have in mind...aint going to say dont want to annoy you dude

yet I will PM and we shall talk...

[Kevin@nextmod]

anything for a civic?

[sunnyhomeboy]

looks okay...wonder how it feels like...

[garboui]

looks okay...wonder how it feels like...

smooth and hard? :chuckle

[midnightfxgt]

looks okay...wonder how it feels like...

Yea... CF Is resined and cleared, so its feels like plastic I guess? I am going to PM you now about your tires etc, so when you pic them up you can see them first hand :)

w000000000000000000000000000000wwwwww

makes me wanna double think....

[monty0501]

prices please...looks really good!

[dentinger]

oh im in fo sho now!!
FO SHO!!

[FLIPDADY]

Good job John!

Now that's real carbon fibre!

[Skarbro]

I'm impressed. Those look really quality. I'm not a fan of the CF look, but those are nicely done.

[cwp_sedan]

Damn those do look sweet!

[Unoriginalusername]

those look nice

[WhiteSpeed3]

i got to see these in person

thinking wat can i buy from john to give me a reason to go see them

[midnightfxgt]

HEHEHE.... Anything you need. I have bulked up on suppliers, and carry a very very large selsection now ;)

[monty0501]

Also,
from what I remember, its all four window switch covers, and the front dash strip.
Any chances more pieces to be added? I guess I'm with Vlad in getting the steering wheel controls (but not sure how difficult those would be?)
LOOKING GOOD!

[qycxzerqp]

I want it now.

[Gizzmo_jr]

*throws wallet at midnightfxgt*
"GIMME!!!!"

[bluntman]

What about the dash strip?

[dentinger]

and i dont have the rear door panels (seriously) and i dont have steering wheel mounted audio controls. so is it possible to do my steering wheel blanks, inteasd of the rear panels, for the same price?

[nicker]

are you going to be doing the steering wheel controls now and are you able to do them? I know it was said that you may not be able to do them.

Otherwise looks flipping sicK!!!!!!!!!!!

[S.F.W.]

the problem with the steering wheel controls, is they are only sold with the wheel. If you can get a spare set, then John can likely get them wrapped).

[dentinger]

are they removeable at all?? (the panels)
i dont have any controls there, so it would be a bit easier to get wrapped

[RX9]

hurry up john, i want them for sure!

[FLIPDADY]

Oh shit I had a spare set laying around somewhere.

I'm doing a warranty bin cleanup soon I'll keep an eye out for them.

[mit-gee-mui]

Is there any chance you have a glove box in that bin as well?:whoa:loco:chuckle

[midnightfxgt]

Joe - Whatever you got man, let me know! In return I can get you some blue CF ones made up at a discount for the parts :)

Everyone -- More pics coming soon. I will get a GB going just after new years since its very very hectic around here lately.

Thanks
John

[FLIPDADY]

Aight mang!

[FLIPDADY]

Is there any chance you have a glove box in that bin as well?:whoa:loco:chuckle
Sorry I don't keep tiny Honda glove boxes.:chuckle

[MPS]

any chance you have miror caps

[mit-gee-mui]

Sorry I don't keep tiny Honda glove boxes.:chuckle

I wasn't asking for MY car.......:chuckle
Don't you remember how azn_outlaw wants a CF glovebox? I was asking for him you silly goose!

[FLIPDADY]

any chance you have miror caps
Do you have a set that you can give John?

[Kevin@nextmod]

Can you do a CF SI badge?

[FLIPDADY]

Can you do a CF SI badge?
I think a rim color matched SI badge would look better Kev.

[nicker]

wheres the installed pics????

[sicsol]

Prices & where do we sign up.

[doughboyr6]

damn that looks good.

just to clarify, these are over lays right? they stick ontop of the existing pieces? not replace it?

[-RJ3-]

Holy clean car for winter!!!!

[3GFX]

Damn thats a little much in one place, but SOOOOOO COOOL!!!!

[dentinger]

ya, thats a little much. but its still pretty sweet....

[SpeedBaby]

am i the only one who thinks that it's a bit overload?
not trying to bash anyone, but it really looks a bit too cabony imo

but then again, gotta see it in person

[p-o-g-i]

I like it. It is a bit much, but definitely will attract attention. Good or bad, it's an attention grabber.

[Unoriginalusername]

Holy clean car for winter!!!!

this isn't my car, this is from the US forum... see the leater on the seats? not a car that is going through our winter

[Gizzmo_jr]

am i the only one who thinks that it's a bit overload?
not trying to bash anyone, but it really looks a bit too cabony imo

but then again, gotta see it in personAgreed, but this gives me the perspective I needed and I can take away a few of those pieces I wouldn't mind having done.

Looks alright, if anything it looks like those ebay vinyl kits which is to much if you do the entire kit.

[Unoriginalusername]

so is this still coming along?

[Unoriginalusername]

is this dead?

[dentinger]

^^
i was wondering the same thing at work today...

[-RJ3-]

[FLIPDADY]

[dentinger]

[nicker]

looks good but that car is just over done, sorry. Makes me re-think how much id actually do.

[midnightfxgt]

Hey Guys!

Sorry, I have been swamped with other GBs, and work. And I had a wedding out of the province this weekend and got in early this morning. I should have more pics up in the next day or two, and will then start a thread about having them done. I am not having much luck with steering wheel controls, but if someone wants them we can wrap theirs and they can drive without for a week or so :)

Thanks for the patience!

[monty0501]

I would be interested in the controls as well!!
We dont have to purchase all pieces found in the picture you gave correct?
Monty

[dentinger]

I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. Talk about overdoing it. Less is more I always say.

[dentinger]

im sure that interior looks alot better in person tho....

unless its the Ebay stick on stuff....

[SpeedBaby]

I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. Talk about overdoing it. Less is more I always say.

Thank you Blunty! I thought i was the only one here who thought it was overklill...

[whiteomega]

i think it's overkill too. a little bit here and there is fine (the dash strip and shift knob is as far as i would go).

to me, it just looks tacky.

[-RJ3-]

Hand brake, manual shifter, and dash strip, is how far I would go.

[3GFX]

If it was all one piece I would do the HVAC and radio, and/or dash strip. I dunno its tough to decide what to wrap.

On the 08.5 3 the trim is black..i think what is black trim would look good in black cf. the ebay stickers everywhere on the pic above is overkill i agree

[mEtH]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

dang 08 and silver, I miss my black dash...

[doughboyr6]

do i see paddle shifters there?

[3GFX]

do i see paddle shifters there?

I think that's actually an interior shot of the MXSportif, the Mazda 3 concept vehicle.

[mEtH]

Sportif had a manual shifter setup with aluminum pedals.

[3GFX]

Hmmmm. Maybe its just that new JDM paddles option?

[silversurfer3]

http://crankygamer.com/images/ms3/interior-cf.jpg i like this kit i would want to pick something

[cwp_sedan]

[dentinger]
