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 :thumbsup: ) 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.

We have been given a few samples at a discounted rate, thus if some members are willing to do up a pictorial installation guide and provide detailed comments we can organise to get you one now. Please PM me if you are interested in this.

Have you only got these for R33 so far or do you have samples for R32 as well?

Yes we have some samples for R32. I just haven't had time to take pictures, PM me for more details.

+3. when will it be available and excactly what bits will there be. :devil:

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.

They look like a Carbon Print over OEM items. :rofl:

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

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
