Has anybody put a carbon fiber iterior kit from nopi in their car. I am thinking about purchasing one but don't know if it is worth the $316.00 they want for it. Need feedback.

i would just paint the interior instead. Then you know that it will look good and it will save alot of money

I agree with painting the interior.

Get vinyl / leather spray paint at the local auto store.

I gave the interior of a 1977 Lincoln Mark V a face lift by doing this. It made the car look like it just rolled of the show room floor. I even shocked myself!
Just take everything apart and lay it all out in a well ventilated, clean area when you do it.

Believe me, if you take your time, it will look great!

I thought about that but I like the look of carbon fiber. Hell maybe i should just save that money and wait till the turbo comes around for the 2.0. Life is full of tuff decisions.LOL

to do....with my spare time and money.

Does anyone have the complete carbon fiber kit for the Automatic? I looked at kits a month ago, and I could not find one that had all of the pieces. A complete kit would consist of:

Piece around the shifter

the vent on the passenger side

the piece around the radio and heater controls

the piece that says contour, and the part around it.

around the headlight and mirror controls

around the dash illumination knob thing

around all of the door handles

Around the gauges

Did I leave anything out? I saw few kits that had some but not all parts...what's the point? I basically want all black plastic pieces to be real carbon...otherwise I'll just have to paint. Can someone point me to a 100% complete kit for the automatic with all of the parts listed above? Thanks.

I did find a kit at www.torasport.com i'm not sure it is complete i didn't spend much time at this site. I am going through my old magazines trying to find ads. I have found several but haven't had the time to look them up. I would also like to see some pics.

Here is the closest I could find for 98+ Contours...still missing Contour logo part and vent on far driver side...although Pre 98s get a 14 piece complete kit...lucky bastids :p

Looky

The tora site shows the 95-97...I wonder what they offer for 98+? Maybe I'll shoot them an E-mail...that is exactly what I want, I just want to make sure it will work with my car before I order.

Edit: Which parts from the 95-97 are exactly like the 98+? Would the 95-97 kit work for a 98+?
