Re: Carbon fiber interior... If you are referring to the kit that actually "Wraps" the stock parts in carbon fiber, it has been dicontinued from RK Sport and I can't find anyone that will duplicate it. I have been looking for about a month and MIGHT have found a place that will make a mold of the stock parts and then duplicate them in carbon fiber but it is going to be EXSPENSIVE unless I can get a bunch of people to go in on it.I am waiting to hear back from them to see if they will be able to do it for sure.

Re: Carbon fiber interior... I have the kit from RK Sport.. i guess its a collectors item now <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> -- The trick would be to find out WHO made it for RK (RK make almost NOTHING on their own).. Here is a pic..
Love the kit and I get tons of compliments on it.. it really spruces up the rather dull interior <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Re: Carbon fiber interior... SteveSS2000,They wouldn't tell me who they had do it. RK said the reason it was discontinued was that they were having them returned for the carbon fiber seperating from the plastic. Don't know if it is true or not but thats what I was told. Maybe you could contact RK and tell them that you need a replacement part or something and find out if they will put you in contact with the company that does it since it is discontinued.

Re: Carbon fiber interior... About a year ago, there's a GP on camaroz28.com on this thing (not sure about time frame). There was a company in California who molds the carbon fiber over any piece of plastic. The price was quite a bit cheaper than RKsport too. I hope you can still find the post and the name of the company from camaroz28.com.

The place in SoCal is http://www.socalimages.com ~ they do a process that LOOKS like CF.. they can cover just about anything.. i have several engine pieces done and it looks very good.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> ~ ive seen interior parts done also and the effect is very nice at a fraction of the cost of RK's old kit..

Re: Carbon fiber interior... I sent a radio trim bezel for a T/A to So.CalImages and it is a cheaper carbon fiber look laminant. Not what I was looking for.
Steve2000SS or xssive, would one of you try getting in contact with RK and see if they will tell you who did the carbon fiber stuff for them? Tell them you need a replacement part or something. I think they would be more likely to tell someone who actually has the kit. I don't know why they won't tell me since they don't sell it anymore.
adm408, the only carbon fiber kit RK Sport still sells is the flat stick on kit. The kit we are talking about is the one that that they actually "wrapped" the stock parts with carbon fiber. Look at the pic of Steve2000SS's car and you will see what we are talking about

Re: Carbon fiber interior... UPDATE: I talked with a guy from RK Sport at the super chevy show and they WILL again offer the Carbon Fiber interior.. they just switched vendors to one in Italy that does CF for the Ferraris and such.. I guess their current vendor was giving them trouble..
You should have seen the Carbon Fibered C5 with the MAGNACHARGER.. oh yea!!
