Thumbs up Interest in carbon fiber items?

Hi everyone,

A good friend of mine owns and operates G3 Composites, a carbon fiber company based in South FL. We've done many cars from R8s to Lamborghini to my Corvette (that I sold earlier this year)etc.

We'd love to do some items for the FR-S and BR-Z as well.

You can see a lot of our work here:

Thanks,
Tom

As long as it is real carbon fiber replacements and not overlay parts, absolutely.

The silver/fake carbon dash pieces would be nice. Especially if you guys made it one piece. Shifter trim would be cool too.

Yes. The stereo surround/dash trim would be very welcome! So far everyone just overlays the stock piece, which is fine cosmetically but kind of defeats the purpose of carbon fiber.

I'd also like to see carbon fiber door sill plates!

This overlay looks good but I don't know who makes it or if it's real CF:

We can definitely do the shifter trim, dash trim & other interior pieces.

Are you looking to have a carbon version of the stock door sills w/the holes or something else?

Anyone that wants to have some carbon work done please email me at tom@g3carbon.com and I'll get you taken care of. We are ready to take on your business.

How much will it cost to get the door handles in carbon and also the passenger panel and radio trim as one piece? Will you ship to Canada also? Postal code is l4j

Competition is a good thing for the consumer.

There have been lots of carbon companies out there for quite some time. We will gladly put our work up against anyone else. We are not only a business, but also enthusiasts ourselves. We don't produce anything we would not put on our own cars.

Could you make the dash piece around the headunit a different size? Ive seen once people go with aftermarket headunits they have a gap or have to use spacers. A aftermarket dash piece that sits flush with aftermarket dual dins would be awesome.
