Red Carbon Fiber door panels

my flat black project is moving slowly ahead, here is second part - interior

plastics were painted flat black, dashboard covered with leather and CF parts have flat finish
What do you think about red CF door panels - anyone would be interested if I would produce few more for sale?

I just want to know how much it would be for "regular" matte black door panels...

Although if I had a red interior I wouldn't hesitate to do this - looks amazing!

I would be interested if you could produce them in black cf rather than red and if they were for a reasonable price.

Everything you do looks amazing to me Marius!

Also, I love the CF gauge pod, especially with the cutout for the OBD II. I just bought an aluminum one, but how much for one of those?

Ooooo... I didn't even see that! Nom nom!!

Ok we need prices for the door panels, shifter console and the gauge pod... (so it will all match of course!)

Am I not seeing something on the gauge pod?

I see the 2 gauges and a Valentine detector, but no OBD cutout.

Very nicely done, BTW.

Wayne

Yes, it's Valentine 1 concealed display... but always you can cut smaller hole and install OBD II plug instead of Display

I can do CF parts in my free time.... which means no mass production, about 2 weeks time to produce pair of door panels or gauge pod -

CF shifter center console is standard product and you can buy it e.g. from Sector... I can rethink about offering it but have no idea about price

speaking about price...
gloss or matte finish red or black CF door panels (pair) - $650 - sounds reasonable???
gloss or matte CF gauge pod - $150 - also sounds reasonable???
