Carbon Fibre based overlays on interior trim

Hi Silverstar,

I am a new member to this forum and a new e89 Z4 owner. I can't send you a PM because this is my first post on the forum. I would like to have my interior trim recovered in carbon fiber. Can you please contact me and let me know how to make this happen? I am in the US.

Thank you

Hello Brian,

Since you are in the US I guess you will need trims to fit a LHD car? The easiest way would be for me to source some trims here in Europe to skin in carbon fiber and then ship them to you. I would need to work out costs based on how much I can get second hand trims for and shipping costs to the US.

If you make 3 posts you can send me a PM and we can continue there.

Thanks and regards
 
I have seen Silverstar's car first hand in Spain and the work is fabulous. Luckily i am happy with my aluminium trim otherwise I would be £500 poorer. Istead I am hoping he will do his Stage 1 hi-fi install in my car.......We are back next week btw!

Isn't carbon old hat now, never saw the appeal.
Pretending to be super light, better off losing a few pounds!

By skinning trims with carbon you are not pretending it to be light it’s purely for aesthetics and aesthetics are subjective. By the same token you could argue leather wood or brushed aluminium is old hat too.

The trims in my car were badly scratched so I needed to do something, being subjective I find painting them or vinyl wrapping them to be naff same with covering them with leather or alcantara which doesn’t blend well with the rest of the leather in the car.

Of course I would love to have replaced my brushed aluminium trim but BMW charge a fortune for them, next I thought about getting them refinished but could not find anyone to do it so then I came across carbon fibre and have to say now I have it, it looks gorgeous and way more modern (way less old hat) than brushed aluminium. All subjective of course!

Maybe if [ref]flybobbie[/ref] supplied the 'old hat' you could cover his trims with that? :rofl:

Unfortunately I can't PM yet. I'd like to order a full set, including the trim so I don't have to send mine to you. How much would that be sent to Germany? Cheers, Erik
