Forged carbon interior

Hello everyone,

at the moment I am working on a development of a forged carbon interior for G30. I was looking around the web but could not find this option anywhere so
decided to make one myself. Thing that interests me is - would there be anyone interested in getting one?

EDIT:

part in picture is a working progress - finished result will have a much more visible and even carbon texture

It's not literally forged 😀 just a type of carbon fiber

I've attached pictures of a finished panel to this reply. I am really hapy on how it turned out

Looks really nice! I like the dark gray interior look already so I may be partial.

Just dropping by to see if there is any progress. I would really like to change all the black plastic trim pieces to forged carbon fiber, but it doesn't seem like anyone is making anything like this. All I've seen are carbon fiber weave trim kits that replace the wood trim. I actually like my wood trim and I think forged carbon would add that little bit of detail instead of plain black plastic.

This might just be me... but it looks a bit like recycled plastic bags...
