Question Looking for hard to find carbon fiber items.

I was going to order some HVAC, headlight switch, and shifter overlays. However, these overlays mainly come only in white and while I do like the color white I want something different. I have been looking for these three things in carbon fiber and so far no luck. I was wondering does anybody know a site that sells these in carbon fiber?

Thanks

it seems I saw a company a year or so ago that made them to order, but can't place them, if you can get someone to do a decal you could do the look with plexi

I emailed both custo light and Brent to see if they can make an overlay for me. Custo light should be able to make me one but I'm going to end up paying out the ying yang for it. Funny thing is that I see these things on ebay all the time but no one makes one for an F-Body except that whole sale dealzzz dude. Because of the feedback that guy has gotten around here I think I'm (and eveyone else) better left avoiding his business.

yeah screw him. those carbon fiber sail panels that I got from him that were "real carbon" my god when I went to take them off the epoxy that he used was all dried and cracking and chipping and turning to dust and left such a horrible mark on the sail panels, those carbon fiber decals I bought were to hide the crap wholesaledealz's crap left on there.

I always love the guys saying it's real carbon fiber and cheap, lockhead is making a plane from carbon fiber and each wing takes 8 weeks to make in one mold and costs 18 mil

I used to live by their atlanta plant, my in laws house was in the landing zone (planes had to fly over their house to get to the runway)
