Carbon parts?

Hi all,

want to replace some interior parts of my 97 boxster with carbon panels. I have seen quite a few on the internet but was wondering if anyone else has bought any from somewhere that they can recomend? Or an ebay seller?

Want something to look nice, otherwise I would leave the stock parts in!

Regards,
Sam

Cheers, will check them out. Anyone else? I was hoping to find a carbon roll bar cover. I believe I saw this somewhere on the net one night, now I cant find it again. Was I dreaming or is such a part available?

When I get some more free time (rofl) I will be messing around with carbon fiber some more. Mostly for my 944, and light switch covers for my kitchen, but if there are any parts someone wants wrapped/replaced with carbon I can give it a shot. I have to iron out my vacuum bagging technique to make really good cosmetic parts.

I've tried to steer clear of CF bits for my Boxster interior (although I've done the exterior - intake scoops, mirror housings, license plate frame, and hood). The interior stuff gets spendy real quick. I've been considering stuff for my 996 though which has no CF on the exterior but has a few parts inside that I would like to add to. I've searched several different forums and most people are very happy with the quality of MA Carbon. They've got decent selection too. I'd stay away from the Porsche stuff as it tends to turn yellow and crack or delaminate. People seem to be more satisfied with the quality of the MA Carbon stuff over stuff from Porsche.

But I'm going to throw another source into the mix - DB Carbon:

www.db-carbon-interior.com

They have a much wider selection of parts and their pricing is much better. Note that they also offer a variable discount with the more you order. I haven't seen tons of reviews of their products, but what I have seen has been pretty positive. In a few months once I get my credit card paid down a little I'm planning on purchasing about $2,000 in parts from them that would cost me $3,200 from MA Carbon.
