This shop in the UK is selling carbon fibre stereo surround and i am pretty sure he ships to australia as well if i calculated it right the price is about $157 its pretty good considering that mitshubishi is charging up too $300 so maybe if enough people is interested we can start up anouther group buy. here is the web site

I smell a group buy coming up ....

There may be a lot of interest for this ... I know I have seen a lot of posts about wanting either c/f the f/g or even a stock one.... there have also been a lot of posts about that f/g sticker stuff off ebay ...

jakey106 did you want to chase up the guy in the UK to see if he will ship to Aus ??? Then we can see if there is enough people for a g/b ...

Yeah group buy would be good... i dont really mind if its carbon fibre or just plain since i have about $0 anyway

jakey106 · Post by **jakey106** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 8:40 pm

the carbon fibre will be cheaper than the plain one from mits

Here are some images of the ones I produce

I can get them done it 2 different weave types

This is the 2x2 twill that we are making at the moment

and this is plain carbon

as you can see its very difficult to get the 2x2 twill round bends evenly, the plain is a tighter weave and doesnt deform as much.

I just replied to your email just than the email went to my junk mail box and i didnt see it sorry.

Do you also do tinted carbon fibre or just the plain carbon fibre? and also do you make them with the cigarette lighter hoel?

Just plain carbon. We decided not to add the cig lighter as its easy enough to drill and to be honest Im going to put a much better looking lighter in mine rather than the standard fto one.

Do you do it with the cig whole and little pocket ash tray??? I put my parking card in there ... So I like to have it ... Considering my centre console has the stacker in it, it gives me no room anywhere else ..

putting the cig lighter and ashtray in is not as simple as just cutting it out, it makes the whole process much more complicated.

instead of using a 2 piece mold, they'll probably have to use a 4 piece mold... or make the bits individually and then "glue" them together.
