I got some carbon interior bit from performance trim and tbh wasn't to impressed.
When you order carbon doorcards dont expect them to be full carbon, more so fibreglass with a think layer of carbon on top.

If you want fully carbon, just ask for fully carbon!

I ordered carbon door cards not fibreglass with a bit of carbon lashed on top.

I definatly thought i was getting carbon when it took 6 weeks to get them, i assumed some little chinkamen were weaving the carbon from scratch.

Got a set of these.

They are amazing - ask Vic if you want more - they takes AGES to make.

I'd like to see what they look like when they're done. Do you know of a time frame?
