Ok, guys, Im going Tuesday to drop off some parts to get some molds made. I need some opinions and ideas from everyone to decide which parts to do first. The parts I pick will be available in fiberglass and carbon fiber within the next month or so. Probably on ebay. I want to do something different. Maybe some stuff in the engine bay, and interior. I was thinking the entire shifter console, door sills, rear speaker deck or maybe even the door panels. Possibilities are endless. Let me know what you guys would be interested in. Ive also seen carbon fiber headliners starting to be made, but of course not for our cars. Thats an idea. THIS WILL HAPPEN! Im not just wasting my time typing like some people. So let me know. But im gonna need some serious buyers interested in these parts because getting molds made is expensive, and I dont want get a mold made to produce 1 or 2 parts.

my friend brought up an interesting idea when i showed him my painted wire/fuse box/battery cover stuff... he said it would be pretty cool/interesting to see someone with a carbon fiber engine cover on a civic or something (like a benz or a 350z does).. jes throwin out ideas..

TunedNCivic

yeah, I already have the cf spark plug wire cover. I was thinking about the fuse box cover, and I saw a battery cover that was fake CF at autozone. If that would fit our batteries I could have a mold of that made and make it in Real CF. Also thought about the OEM air box, but with most people having intakes, I think that would be a waste.

how about all the parts of the door lining glassed and painted id buy depending if i cud afford it, adn other interior parts too i guess

how bout a full carbon fiber dash? i got a price on an overlay from kazell, but i wanna see how much a carbon fiber replacement would cost... my future goal is to replace all of the nasty beige with carbon fiber, black, and/or blue and a little bit of silver...

TunedNCivic

I thought about the dash . But the finished product would be high. Theres not alot of people willing to drop about a grand on it. Door lining would be good. Only thing is we would lose the pocket. I dont think that would be a big deal though.

TunedNCivic

This picture is to give you an idea on the door panels. These are for a 6thgen. On ours the top and the armrest will be the same, but to give you an idea what it would look like the pocket gone, here ya go. Sweet IMO.

dayam.. a grand for a dash.. i think i'll stick with the overlay.. but the door looks cool.. but i actually use the pocket... =/

TunedNCivic

Remember, when I say dash, I mean the top and bottom portions, From the windshield down. You could get just the middle part, or just the top part if you wish. It wont be quite a grand. But it will be high.

yea.. from what i saw on kazell's website, i think the overlay included both top and bottom parts...

TunedNCivic

nope, its just the middle part.

a grand for the door panel??? wow

how much for the side mirrors? you haven't replied to my pm..

TunedNCivic

I didnt say a grand for the door panel, read before you post. Door panels would be about $500-$600 set.

TunedNCivic

Side mirrors would probably be easiest to do an overlay, which isnt easy considering the shape. I PMed you.

bro... get more info on possibly doing the headliner.... i saw that a while back from another company but of course... like u said... not for our cars.... yea that is the straightest things ever to me.... and they made the sunroof slider CF TOO!!!! OMG it looks amazing... check into it for me on price

TunedNCivic

I'll ask about a mold when I go Tuesday. I liked it too.

Yea, I want a headliner too, but what worries me is how will it be installed. It seems like you would have to remove the front window to slide it in.

ANyways, I want EVERYTHING that your can get in carbon fiber. I don't want any overlay bull$hit like Kazell does.

fly...at my shop we replaced the roof in a 7th gen coupe. its not that hard, but we took out the front seats to make it easier. you wedge it in at in angle and it will go in. it would be harder with carbon fiber cuz you wouldnt want to flex it.

dont forget to wear cotton gloves when installing cf..then you wont have to wipe off your fingerprints

if you did the CF center console would it have a compartment beside the E-brake like the EX has?

Actual trim around the radio/ac buttons. Glove box door, A pillers, Door panels

~nick~

CPEasy02

i would buy most of it as long as the price was right

centurioncivic

headliner would be awesome, id buy it for sure, id also buy a fuse box cover

TunedNCivic

WOW. Great responses. I see alot of door panel and center console suggestions. That will probably be the first 2 things I do. that headliner would be sweet too. All depends on the prices he gives me for molds. Molds are VERY expensive. For instance, a mold for a hood runs about $1200, so that gives you an idea. Keep the suggestions coming.

Hey TunedNCivic, if you need help, I have some parts sitting around that I can donate. What about a CF Intake?
