Default Carbon Fiber Inserts and Headliner

This is just to see if anyone would be interested in these full replacement parts for their tC's. It will be the front and back inserts done in either carbon fiber or fiberglass and the fiberglass comes in a white gel coat that is ready to prime and paint once out of the shipping box, or if your prefer we can do the paint job for your right here in house.The headliner will be offered in the same carbon and fiberglass. The only thing that we would need for you would be the type of color or paint code to your specifications.

We DO NOT have a set price for these as of yet and I WILL get pictures in a couple of weeks when the molds are finished.

This is just to see how many people would be interested in some custom parts like this.
Thanks
Justin B

Wow Topshop wouldnt happen to be Topshelf customs would it? If so why did you guys laugh at the idea of doing parts for the TC when I called about 8 months ago? Now you see its a serious market and want to make some money?

Besides FIRMWARE is expecting shipment on my A/B/C pillars and my headliner to do the exact same thing. I sent them out today so keep your eyes open for new Firmware parts.

No, we are TOP SHOP..... NOT topshelf..

We have been wanting to get into the tC scene for awhile now and we have time to do it.

We already make the carbon fiber headliner for the xB's. We had quite a few people that wanted this done in the summer but we just didn't have time to make molds beacause of all the business that occurs during that part of the year.

Well I'd be interested in the carbon fiber... I think you would get a lot more people interested if you could do colored Kevlar. I know I would really like a silver kevlar headliner. Price and oem fit would be major factors for me. What price range are we looking at? $600-800, $1000+, or what? I know you can't make a set price but a guesstimate would be nice.

Firmware has the inserts and the headliner releasing this spring. prices to be determined on the headliner but they are more than welcome to do colored carbon.

Either way if you need prices let me know bc i can get you some on the insert

I'd say there is interest. If we get more than 1 company to make these there will be competition for quality and pricing...

Fitment would be the most important aspect for me. Make a good product with no fitment issues and you win.

Our products all have great fitment. We know what is important in the consumers choice of companies and we take pride knowing that our product's don't have issues. Even if they did we would do anything we could to help make it right for you.

Thanks

Well from what I have been reading about firmware... if you guys setup a good product and have good customer service you will have the market.

I'd be interested, also, what other types of cf products might you make for the tC?

So what if firmware said it might release a similar product some time next year. There are some of us that like to have a better choice for our parts.
