PSI Parts Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Well as you may know, we probably jumped the gun a bit when we said Sniper Racing was releasing some Carbon Fibre interior pieces, as they have taken a fair while to actually come up with the goods. Now, we have some first hand pictures of the interior pieces it's now over to you guys for some feedback, as Sniper Racing (after some persuasion ) is willing to remake the interior pieces in our choice of material. First of all, here are some pictures of what we have so far, (instrument cluster surround to follow very soon). Now, they debate is Dry vs. Wet Carbon. Here are some points of discussion: - Wet Carbon is cheaper to produce than Dry carbon due to the storage requirements and tooling needed - Dry Carbon will be a single layer of carbon that is stuck directly over your existing dash pieces - Wet Carbon will replace your existing trimmings and require some work to make them fit well - Dry Carbon can be finished in a gloss (despite popular belief) - Wet Carbon will have slightly skewed carbon weave as it is hand laid into a female mould, where dry normally requires tooling Let us know your thoughts so we can pass them back and get these produced.

ITZTRU Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 - Wet Carbon will replace your existing trimmings and require some work to make them fit well to what extent exactly, if you dont mind me asking?

Zilch* Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) I vote dry. Unless wet can be easily fitted, as it would be nicer to replace the whole piece rather than place something over the top of it.

PSI Parts Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 +3. when will it be available and excactly what bits will there be. The wet carbon pieces are available now for R33 and R32 (we have a handful of the gear stick surrounds) on a trial basis. If by the end of the trial the majority of people have said the fiddling is acceptable then the dry carbon will not be produced as the set-up costs of dry carbon are very expensive.

UWISSH! Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 They look like a Carbon Print over OEM items. from my understanding reading through wot it says on import monster these are genuine carbon interior pieces not film over the top like u think. check it out because i realy dont think that carbon film would cost as much as these parts do Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/229543-carbon-fibre-interior-pieces/#findComment-4039520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
