Call for Carbon fiber vendor help

So, I sold my G and moved on to a 2009 CTS-V. Still check this forum out. There is a great community here and great vendors.

Anyway, a lot of people are talking about wanting carbon fiber interior replacement trim in our CTS-Vs. The gloss black plastic finish in the console sucks. It scratches and always looks dirty.

No one is offering carbon fiber replacement trim pieces yet! I want them and a number of others want them as well. If a vendor here that specializes in carbon fiber would like to work with me in developing the replacement pieces, I could supply the trim pieces for the molds or what ever in exchange for the first kit. I can then supply a review on my caddy forum.

Any vendors let me know.

Autokits-X does great work. I don't know if they do interior pieces but the quality and customer service is A+

If there's enough interest, molds can be made. But at the least, the parts can be wrapped in CF to guarantee OEM fitment.

I've done a few Lexus interior parts and G37 inside door handles. If interested, please send me pics of the parts.

Thanks!

Great thanks guys. I'll get a count from the Caddy guys who would be interested. Ill also get pics. The concern I have with covers is that for the console the fit is tight around buttons. The extra thickness may be an issue.

thanks Q8y_drifter but unfortunately we don't make interior parts unless they are big pieces.
I've seen the Limited Edition work and the parts look nice

I know what you mean but you may not have to worry about that since the CF can be stopped right before the edge of the hole around button to preserve OEM fitment. Any pics would be very helpful!
