I can only imagine how labor intensive this lamination process must be and I am sure it's reflected in cost. My hats off to you for taking this expensive, unknown plunge (at the time of commitment)!
If you don't mind, can you send me a message indicating what the cost was so I can start another piggy bank (Wilwood piggy bank, head porting piggy bank, door panel piggy bank, etc...).

My only concern is that after a conversion like this could our Zs taking on Lambo/Ferrari complex? - finickey and uncooperative?

Thank you.
PM Replied. Hell I hope not they are Finickey and uncooperative enough.

Default Carbon Fiber
I'm not into the look of carbon fiber interior but it is an amazing material, one of the composites in the dreamliner 787 airplane they are trying to figure out now why the lithium ion batteries have fried in a few.

This company, which I'm sure many are familiar with, http://www.apsisusa.com/

Has just done the interior trim in a C4 in carbon fiber. I don't know the cost but it is probably $$$$$$. It looks very precise and well done as a technology to me. Since it's interior and cosmetic I didn't put it in the tech section. I have no relationship with the company, was looking at whether Carbon Fiber burned and if so how with respect to the dreamliner airplane. Some plastic compounds burn with the most noxious smoke you've ever been around and is hazardous to your health. The carbon fibre takes really high temps to finish oxidizing though the resin matrix it's in will readily burn off.

Saw this on the other zr1 forum where this guy must be a vendor.

Just interesting and I was impressed with how precise it looked tho I'm fine with mine as is.

In Italia, FORM is FUNCTION. Hayek certainly shows that.

I'm bringing the parts over this weekend to get a quote. They could do a gloss clear or a matte clear. I saw a ZO6 they did in the matte finish that looked really good. From the your pics look like you went with the gloss. Can you PM your cost so I have something to go on? Thanks!
