I would say c/f or stock color, I think the blue would clash with the tan leather.

Answer is: You would have to make them yourself. RKSPort was the only making a good set and they stopped. Carbon fiber is in a worldwide shortage right now so good luck finding anything like that.

WTF?????? Maybe you've heard of a little conflict in the mid-east called the Iraq War. Industry and military interests are buying up all the carbon fiber available for their use. Do a Google search. If you can even get a hold of a yard of CF now it has gone from $35 per yard to upward fo $55-75 depending on where you get it. Shortage is expected to last through 2007 at least.

Don't think I would want to have a business right now that relied on heavy carbon fiber usage.

Whatever it was for.. the topic drifted toward availablity of material to make items.

I pay good money to advertise here and it's in my rights to show the different material choices we have in stock and I noted that it was for the items listed. Suppose interior buyers would want some other stuff too and they didn't know about the options.

Please don't f#ck with me everytime I make a post. There's playing around... and then there's being unreal.

Just trying to keep things on topic. I don't give a rat's *ss how much you pay, the topic was about interior trim items. YOu better learn as a "sponsor" to take the good with the bad, the praise with the criticism and grow up a little pal. Firehawk seems to have a real nasty temper sometimes, and I have a couple of saved PMs messages from him to prove it.

Got a smart *** reply to that Josh????? Or should I just post those messages so EVERYONE can see just who their dealing with.
