In a few weeks we'll have some nice Carbon Fiber door cups (just like the other aftermarket ones). No word on cost, but these are really easy to make - so they won't be too much more (if any) than the ones on the market in silver.

Also, the molds for our rear wings for the MC/MCS are being made over the next 2 weeks, and in 6 weeks we expect to roll them out. They are basically factory replica wings all done in carbon fiber. The inside will have an injection molded expandable foam and the outside will be extremely high quality CF.

Will have pics as soon as we have them in our hands!

Yes, please do post pictures.

How about some interior items done in carbon fiber?
Dash and door items/trim.

How about the intercooler cover on the MCS?

Intercooler cover is definately on the list, in fact it is next in line after the door sill inserts... Didn't want to jump the gun and annouce anything, as the project is a good 6 weeks away.

Any chance of the cups being made of white carbon fiber for those of us with white roofs.

Hank, it really all depends on what our final cost per unit on production is. I fully expect it to be under $300 though.

Absolutely! We will be making silver door cups as well.

Door cups are still being molded. Will see if we can get a few out by the end of this week. Rear wing is being white light scanned right now and will be CNC molded next week. The first units should be here in 4 weeks or so.

We are working with M7 on interior kits and a few other goodies.

Regards,

-Dan
