Nice!!! I would be interested in the half kit....count me in for a GB. What would be the approximate cost of the half kit? Also, the silver cf trim looks real nice but I'm not sure if it would look good with light gray interior...is the original cf trim available or is it also coming in March?

Herb, what is your new way to install the guage rings?

I was thinking about using either 3M Double-Coated Tape 665 or ribbon epoxy on my aluminum guage rings.

If there is a group buy I am so down for it. that shizzle looks hella nice i think esp if there is blk interior and a silver titanium car. Anyone would be interested in the reg. CF for sedans might be up for sale if the silver cf is a good deal. I would also be interested if you came out with some for the valve covers. Keep up the good work Herb

However, in mid-March; you will have the option to purchase overlays or 100% all direct replacement CF trim. :thumbup:

http://forum.e46fanatics.com//showthread.php?s=&threadid=66556

OK guys.. i dont mean to bash on anyone but the I was only marginally satisfied with the interior trim package I purchased from Fiberdesigns...

the dash pieces are actually pretty good, except for one of the pins wasbroken when it arrived. Overall, the finish is quite nice except for a few inconsistencies in the fiber itself.

The armrests are another story all together. While the overlays technically fit, they dont fit well at all. Towards the rear of each armrest, the overlay extends about 1/2 an inch beyond the original armrest. Kinda hard to explain but the profile looks like someone who is wearing a baseball cap thats too big. Ill post pictures later. Also, where the mirror control is, the overlay makes the whole armrest surface too tall, and prevents the 4 way switch from articulating freely... I have to push really hard to move the mirrors in one direction, and am sometime afraid that I will eventually bust the switch off.

The Center console piece does not fit a carbiolet at all because the switch holes are not big enough to accommodate another button on verts.

The reaer armrests do not even come close to fitting a cabriolet, because the armrests are completely different in convertibles.

All told, I spent over $60k on a car and regret that I didnt do the right thing and buy a better quality product. Im not really sure I would spend the money on the AC Schnitzer stuff as it is gawdawful expensive. I dont have any of Carbonworks stuff, but a friend has some of the stuff in his E46 coupe and it looks flawless. I dont know how much more (if any) their stuff is, but I'll probably give it a try once I can scrape together the funds.
