Default carbon fiber headliners

Do carbon fiber headliners still exist? I wanted to replace my grey pillars and roof to carbon fiber to darken my ITR interior a bit.

Or real carbon fiber dash trim kits do they exist? I wouldn't mind replacing the stock carbon fiber sticker trims for real carbon fiber.. seems like everything for the integras now a days has been discontinued

I wouldn't want to make the whole interior carbon fiber I think it be to much.. id just want the grey parts and the "carbon fiber look" stickers around the ac vents and so on. Do you know where she took her pannels to get molded?

how about wrapping it in carbon fiber? Prolly get a custom shop to do it for cheaper and wouldn't ruin your existing headliner.

I know they make the spedo/tach trim in real carbon. I have one on my EG hatch. No clue what brand, sorry.

Check with tenbyten custom carbon. I know they make some del Sol and ED interior trim pieces. Tell em burnoutboy sent ya. I've worked with em on custom projects before.

I had a company on ebay that was selling the cf headliner overlay to replace the two grey A pillars on the driver and passenger side and i asked them over lay my oem pillars so there plug and play and no sticking and cheasy look, they sent them back real quick and they looked nice and glossy! or just do it your self, buy the c&j cf kit on ebay for like $55 and do it your self, it would be very easy since its a flat small object your overlaying. Look on you tube for how to's on using diy cf kits, iv been working with these kits and there nice, i over layed my center console lid and also made a custom cf diffuser. This is the first time iv used these cf kits on ebay. but if you know what your doing and are creative and a do it your selfer you can wrap your A pillars for less than $60.


You can kinda see the the driver side A pillar that was overlapped in CF when it was in my red DC2,



the CF difuser i made with the ebay kit,




The wraped center console lid with the ebay CF kit,

If you get a CF headliner or fiberglass for that matter, good luck to you in a serious crash. CF when sheared or cracked is VERY sharp and would just about be the last thing I want anywhere near my melon.
