Sorry we have no plans to make this OEM NAV bezel piece, there is no market advantage to selling one especially at $100

I would love some carbon fiber interior pieces, but if you're charging close to $1700 for just a steering wheel, I can't imagine what sort of pricetag you're going to put on a cluster surround.
agreed. I know no one else is attempting to do this, but these pieces must have great value to keep selling. Quality may be there, but I think it's safe to say we're not a bunch of rich people who mindlessly overpay for everything.

The dash and some of the wheels look great though. Just wish the smaller pieces were priced more reasonably.
We just finished the cruise control piece for a picky s2000 owner who has our wheel.

Quality parts cost $$$ unfortunately. No free lunch to do perfect parts at cheap prices. We plan to offer the OEM power window surrounds and door handle cups soon. Just look up the cost of these parts online. Just buying these parts are not cheap so in most cases we would need a core exchange.

The gauge cluster is $699 and the one we have just sold. Price point is more than fair given the quality.

I'm not sure where you are getting your information but most of our CF s2000 steering wheels are in the $1k price bracket. We do have steering wheels that go up into the $3500+ price tag but most of those are for exotic cars.

As always, if you have any questions it's best to PM us to get accurate info.


Cheers

We can build the wheel specifically to your requirements since these are each hand built and not generic cheap wheels. The wheels as pictured with yellow or red accents would be $1695
I got my info from your post earlier in this thread. You have what, $100 (if that) worth of carbon fiber and 2 hours worth of shop time plus the cost of a stock wheel minus the airbag, so another $100-$150. $250 in materials and 2 hours worth of shoptime for a part you're charging $1700 for. I can get an entire carbon fiber hardtop for that price.

$699 for the gauge surround is a bit more reasonable, wrapping those is not easy and it's hard to get a good finish on the final product.

carbon fiber door cups would be nice, the ones that fit behind the door opener handle.

We won't be doing door panels, too large of an item to deal with.

We are already doing the CF door cups and actual door handles (not the small ones you pull to get out of the car but the grip ones you grab to close the door)

Doesn't have to be CF, but what about a shift plate? Kind of like this one in a miata:

^Interesting idea ~ the plate can be done but there has to be enough demand for such a thing. Is the exposed shifter a new trend or why would you want to go without a shift boot out of curiosity?

Not sure about a trend, but I really like the look. Same goes for a saggy shift boot.. I think it adds character. Just a personal preference.

Well all ideas are welcome - whether we actually build it will depend on demand and commitment. It's expensive to tool up to make a part that has limited visibility.

We are thinking the door sills and CF shift knobs would be a popular item since everyone can use them.

We can build one-offs using a prototype we build but the cost would be significant.


Currently this is on our TO DO list:

a) Door Sills

b) CF shift knobs (weighted

c) Radio doors

d) Dash surrounds

e) Radio and temperature control panels (left and right of the cluster)


thanks!

here are some samples - we can do an s2000 logo on the shift knob but it would have to be done on a batch of 5 at a time so would need 5 committed and paid buyers to make a run with any one specific color s2000 logo.

I'm actually pretty jealous of the CR sill inserts that the CR guys can get here:

Perhaps something like this could be made for the non CR guys.
