Maybe a silver carbon fiber or something similar to OEM?

Maybe I will call and seek out a quote. I found there's a decent shop here in town that does hydro dipping...
Examples - Carbon Fiber - Streetwerkz Custom Coating Specialists
Question 04...with the hydrodipping... is it cleared? How so? Is the clear a film or paint? Or does the film just have a gloss like that? In short I wonder what the wear and tear is of hydro dipping items.

I mean the interior pieces are small. I can't imagine it being *too* expensive...

I'd skip it and go hydrodipped I that's as good as it seems. At least that will get you full coverage.

some marines in their garage did mine and they said they just did spray paint clear, high temp, on top of the hydrodip and it came out pretty great. i've been running mine for a few years and no issues with peeling or yellowing.
they only charged me about 250 for all my engine panels including the center cover. before i found them, i called some companies and most wanted $500 and upwards for all the panels, the center cover alone was being quoted at $300.
mine isn't great and not as good as the OP's, but it's good enough for me (sorry for the thread jack pic OP):

yea that hydro dip stuff is cool but pricey as fuck. for me in NB canada theres no where to get it done. Which means I have to ship parts to the US, pay for the service, then pay to ship them back lol plus convert CAD to USD.
Basically what you got done for 300-350 would cost me 6-700

I understand the process of the actual dipping. Heck I hydro dipped white coffee mugs tie-dye once. Same thing. I just wasn't sure what made it so glossy.
Those look good. I'm def going to see how much it would be to do the aluminum interior pieces. And find out how hard they are to remove.

Yes all of the silver metal pieces. The two runners on the console, the three pieces on the dash, and the four pieces on the door skins.
If the dash comes off with just clips thats good. I know the door skin pieces come off, I've had them off, but they were attached to the carbon fiber area and I don't remember if they could be broken down further.

if you saw how cheap and thin the paint sheets look dry you wouldn't be surprised. i'm sure they make a killing on this stuff. the guys i worked with had a huge book of about 100 different patterns, each sheet looked like it cost a dollar haha. rattle can did the job!

The silver door pieces are attached to the fake CF trim and can't really be broken down further IIRC. I swapped mine fake wood to the fake CF of a nother car. They come off the door panel with like 10 screws but the silver trim and wood/fake cf are 1 piece.
