off colors are more due to purchasing a fabric that isnt normally used.. i can check to see if they might have some instock
pricing for the part will be around 300 to 350.. havent figured total cost yet.. currently just puting the vibe out there that its happening and if people are interesting how many i might make.. and if people have questions on my work i have a few photos in my profile you can see what i have done

I don't know what performance gains your looking to get, making the carbon fiber engine bezel… I think you should invest in some 3M DiNoc and call it a day… if your really want to save some weight, gut your interior.

I hope this is just for the sake of looking better and not for weight savings becuase it would be way more cost effective to jump on a treadmill and lose 1/2 a pound.

its not so much the weight savings as much as the bling factor.. you could vinyl wrap it in a carbon look i am sure it would come out fine if thats what you like..
Sorry i havent done a part yet.. been busy with other side projects.. i have the mold done just need to do a part to break it in.. i am finishing up a few things then ill have time to devote to it i expect it to begin real soon

don't get me wrong, genuine carbon fiber is always ideal. but for something cosmetic but you want genuine look and feel…. 3M DiNoc 100% its not your average vinyl.
