- Headlight switch trim (to complete the line of the glovebox dash spear), we will need to know if we can make the CF goes under that "flicking switch" beside the main headlight switch...

- Shift surround trim (auto)

- Door spear trims (photos please)

- Airbox Cover - might be expensive due to its size (ballpark figure: 250~300 a piece)

- Fusebox Cover - might be expensive due to its size and shape

cheers,

I will personally prefer to make this shorter glovebox trim than the other longer and more complicated one though... and it looks really good too

May I have the measurements of both longer and shorter front dash trims please...

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the pics!

cheers,

yeah 4 door spears. the ones on drivers side are opposite to the passenger side... duh :P

the dash spears. the shorter one is on the 'low' series dash found in falcons. the long woodgrain one comes from fairmonts/fairlanes/LTDs. and it is in 2 parts. surrounding the trip computer piece (with the screen) and the other part is just a long spear.

will try and get measurements later.

even if you could do a carbon coat, and not a full carbon piece that would be tops. and cheaper i would think- for the same effect. carbon fibre is carbon fibre in my eyes, regardless if there is a fibreglass backing :P

The bit above the glovebox in my pic is 500mm long and about 40mm thick in the fattest part.

Like the idae of the dash spear and the headlight switch as well as auto surround as well.

If I can get my hands on door spears for the ute I might consider that as well.

I love CF ... my last car had the entire dashboard fascia and cluster done from factory (Proton Satria).

I'd be interested in a high series non-bulge bonnet as well. Buy it straight up!

Carbon is a great overall look. Will be great to see some pics of some finished products!! Keep the good work up. Thumbs up from me!

although cf is not for me (ive never really liked the look of it) i still support the idea of having quality au cf parts avaliable for those who like it. perhaps when i see some finished products fitted to an au interior i may consider it. heres a thought, if they did wagon taillights id definitly be in the market. ive seen a set on an old effy, thought it didnt look to bad (cf surrounding lights with clear cover)

Casper or mods how about deleting this thread ?
Why ? There have been over 1600 ppl looking into this thread and a large number of posts positive (infact 84%) and excited about some products for AU's....
Yes I know they will say BA and later have been the priority but that's old now and I'm sure moulds are done.
Now the last post by these guys was the 9th month last year you'd think being a sponser and annoucing some products will be looked into for AU's some concrete news would be coming by now ? or at least some facts about what is going on or not.
Is it too hard fellas ? not enough volume to justify ?
Well tell us which parts you think is worthwhile doing and we in turn should confirm numbers if there is enough interest.
I understand being in business myself, just say so please.

Yup, I think you are right. Until someone from eQuibs actually gets online and lets us know whats going on this thread is pointless.
