here is a pic of the two pieces these are the to be done in cf, they are just the top part of the armrest you can remove the top from the bottom with just 8-10 torx screws

 

As long as the carbon matches I would be in for sure.... If it does not match it will stick out like a sore thumb being next to the rear console.

 

I am interested if the carbon matches as well...
please put my name in...

Kevin Chen (luting_chen)

 

the carbon fiber matchingis the most important element here, i have told the manufacturer that and he said he will try to match it perfectly.. he wants to delve it porsche parts, and the arm rest will be the trial piece...

if anyone can send me close up pictures of the center rear console in cf i would appreciate it,

thanks.. joe

 

I am down as well...

Tell me where and when to pay.....

 

I am in Toronto, am I to understand this is a Canadian manufacturer?
Who is it?
Where are they?
I am very interested as my interior is almost full CF
it must match the OEM look
Thanks

 

I am in also!!! Just need to make sure once again that it matches the factory carbon fiber already in the car???


thanks

Andreas

 

Joe.. Where did that second piece come from? I can't picture it in the car... Also is this guy willing to make just one so we can make sure that it is a exact match, or does he want the order for 5 or more first.. I think the only smart way to do this is for him to make one sample first then we get approval from the rest of the guys & myself.. then we give him a order.. We don't want 5 pissed off guys dumping $200 for nothing..

 

here is a close shot of the carbon console pictures...

 

thanks for all your repsonses guys..

the manufaturer is located in canada, the company is called

http://www.carbonfibrefx.com/

I called them yesterday and talked to duane, I believe he is the manager or owner but i am not sure. I have seen numerous pictures of their work and it looks to be top notch...

They want to go into the porsche field of making CF parts.. and they are not out there to rip us off or anything... they want to make quality parts for us, make a profit and not over charge us in any way.

We have to choices i believe either we get a replacement part or a cover, the replacement will cost a little bit more i think, but he still needs to see the actual arm rest to give a better estimate)

Hopefully i'll be able to send my arm rest both pieces , and my carbon fiebr shift **** by wed. or thurs. I need to know if the thweave of the carbon fiber shifter from porsche is the same weave of the rear center console from porsche. I am planning on sending also my cf shifter in order for them to see the quality of the Carbon Fiber from Porsche, and to have them see what the weave looks like on the CF parts.

I told duane that porsche owners are a "meticulous" bunch and he said not to worry since he was a very meticulous person himself. and did reiterate to him that the weave and the pattern needs to be close to perfect as possible.

one thing he was asking me that i was not able to answer him was that if all the weave and pattern on all the center rear consoles the same.

I am attaching a pic of a hood that they did, duane wanted to tell me that they roll the edges on their hoods so that it looks better.

 

also here is a pic of a cf door panel they did for a mini cooper



oh yeah they can do carbon kevlar too.. here is a yellowish carbon kevlar hood



here is another pic of a hood they did

 

Looks good Joe.. to answer his question about center consoles.. from my experience the pattern of the weave is the same for every Porsche OEM center console

 

thanks kev for the heads up, as usual you are the man,

also can anyone take me more pics of the top part of the rear center console which shows the arm rest too, i need to show him what direction the weave goes..

im excited

 

Joe you have mail
