R8 from South Korea with MAcarbon Carbon Exterior and Interior

We received some cool photos from one of our R8 clients in Seoul South Korea.

He has MAcarbon exterior mirrors, exterior door handles, Alcantara and CF steering wheel, carbon center console, handbrake, ashtray, and air vent set (driver , center, passenger).

The wheel came out particularly well. The alcantara hub covers the stock rubber hub and the white stitching really sets off the entire wheel.

I'm also happy with how the center console turned out. It makes a great compliment to the handbrake. It wasn't an easy piece to do but adds a lot to the interior and is very high impact piece.

On the exterior, the carbon side blades (OEM) and the door handles and mirrors combine with the black vinyl top to give the car a menacing look. He says its also been lowered slightly.

We have all of these parts available on our website.

Enjoy!

WOW great job!

Can you please tell us how it was done?

Did he ship the parts to you from Korea?

Any details would be appreciated and also the price.

thanks.

i like the idea of carbon parts, but not always fond of the applications. this isn't to take away from the work done--i've heard it's extremely difficult to form carbon into auto parts.

Thanks for the feedback guys. CF is like any other mod, many people like it. Some don't. I personally (you'd expect this!) think it looks great in the interior of a sports car. I think it’s a big improvement over the plastic used in the R8 (especially the center console) and many modern cars. My personal favorite combination is carbon with leather - with no plastic surface to be found.

As for the question on how it worked with our customer in Korea, we shipped him the parts and he installed them. Its pretty easy as we keep most R8, Porsche, and Lamborghini parts in stock. We do some parts to order (like the steering wheel) but most of our catalog parts we have on the shelf ready to go. We have many international customers (we're based in the US) so shipping to Asia, Korea, The Gulf, Europe, is something we do on a weekly basis.
