    Couldn't this also be acheived with a sticker sheet of vinyl with carbon fiber print on it? Seems like that may be a cheaper solution with just as neat results.

    Actually, we will be offering it for sale on e-bay coming saturday, this is a product of Naoki and it`s real carbon fibre.
    I use the word we, because all correspondence goes through me.
    It`ll cost $168+$14,- sending (one week), pricey, but as always, there`s no profit for me(except for getting a free set )and untill he sold 10 sets none for Naoki either. It`s a hobby.
    If you`re interested let me know!
    For the people who don`t know Naoki by now, he`s a genuine VX nut who if he decides to sell something, makes sure that he can get you the product within 2 weeks and of perfect quality!
    Sincerely,
    serge

    Yep, Naoki will install them this saturday for me, including the C/F halfmoon. I`ll let you know if it`s easy or difficult.
    Actually we came up with this idea, cause it got really dirty there, especially fingerprints.
    I`ll post some pics this saturday.

    Hey dutchie, can you get Naoki to make some carbon fiber mirror covers? If you could get him to fab those, I would like the half moon, mirror covers, and the inbetween window thing, as long as all the CF matches.
    2001 Ironman Daily Driver... 3.5" suspension lift (OME912 springs and 1" spring spacer), ball joint flip, 1.5" front diff. drop, 33"x12.5 TrXus MT, 16x10 Eagle Alloy rims, Interceptor, PV muffler, K&N air filter, Alpine Supercharger, Bilstein shocks, and some trimming.

    2000 Ironman Project LS-1 VX... very slow progress but someday....... ohhhhh someday......

    Cool

    Hey dutchie, can you get Naoki to make some carbon fiber mirror covers?
    Find another 9 interested people, and it`s possible I guess..

    My baby is now almost completely fibered(?), door pillar, insert, mirror covers, scuff plates, half moon... gorgeous!
    Actually Naoki is working on a new project right now.....and it`s really nice
    Let you guys know more when it`s finished.

    Well eventually I would love to have all the black (above cladding)into CF. But I just got my stereo installed and what I thought would be a $150 install turned out to be an outrageous $400, so no carbon fiber for a while
