Those look very nice! Thank God I don't have any vehicle in which Carbon Fiber accessories would look good!

Shiny Side Up!

Tell me about it...can get expensive in a hurry.
I debated about getting the satin finish for the interior but went gloss instead.

Tyler's customer service is awesome,he called me back late Friday afternoon,confirmed my order and was able to get them on the UPS truck that day along with sending me my tracking info.

I must say the quality of these pieces is really 1st rate,they have many complex curves to them and must be difficult to produce them at this high a level.Full-size with excellent coverage like the OE pieces and not like the short-sized OER crap that is reproduced.
Here it is against my OE piece,exact I'd say:

those look killer John, You're right, the repros suck. I have a 69 I'm building for a friend as soon as the Chevelle is done, I wonder if Matt would make me a set in flat resin.

I like them but I need to get it out in the sun first...that satin finish looks hot too but they didn't have any in stock currently.

Those do look great but I'd switch over to some black screws.

Those look good John. I wish they made them for the g-body (Malibu) interior. This might be a stupid question but can you change the color of carbon fiber without losing the carbon fiber look? IE white instead of black. Dyeing it perhaps. Either way it looks good.

You can purchase the raw fabric in a variety of colors.

I got my satin version of the A-pillar covers today and they're damn nice. I'm EXTREMELY impressed with how they fit.

Ah you rat Scott:drool: ...those must have been the last set,Tyler told me they were out of stock.I like those alot and figured they would be cool because of the glare factor.

That's an easy change though if you decided you wanted satin. :thumbsup:

This is about as good as I can get, it's really hard to capture the satin finish. Anyways, I really like them.

I am on the waiting list for a satin set since Scott just HAD to get the last set. :D

Tyler mentioned they should have some more within a week or so.

Looking good gentlemen. I too have a set in satin finish on my 68. They get comments from every passenger that sits in my vehicle.

We have more sets in satin and gloss scheduled to arrive within days. Jay is #1 on the list for a set of satin. Website will be updated when they are back in stock. I believe Steve Lenning ordered a set as well. Thanks for the pics and recommendations of Anvil's stuff guys.

Are there any other cars in the works for some carbon fiber pieces other than Camaros? I would love something like this for my 78 Malibu. What would it take to have some pieces made?

Satin is the way to go unless your entire interior is geared toward carbon fiber. You suck Scott. You get all the good stuff first.
