Good information; thanks. Nice product, and nice work (on your part to find it).

Update...

I have arranged to allow group buy prices on the synthetic CF coating. These prices are strictly for Crossfire Forum members.

Exterior
windshield molding (3 pieces) $175

grill $195

Interior
door handle/speaker surround (2 pieces) $60

Center console stack (includes the following silver pieces-not including switches or dials)
center a/c vent
a/c control
ashtray
switches
airbag light cover
lighter panel
shifter ring
shifter base

shift indicator
center console
drink holder door
storage console lid - total $319

(this price is slightly higher than before. I had forgotten a component and mispriced another...sorry).


Check the cost for an Escalade interior from YoCar.

http://www.yocar.com/2007-Escalade-C...t-P419C70.aspx


YoCar supplies direct to the auto dealers. Their cost shown is dealer price BEFORE markup. They do a core exchange, which means they have the parts done, but to get the price you have to send in your uncoated parts in exchange before they will ship to you.

You can read more about the different types of dash cover/replacements/coatings here.
http://www.yocar.com/carbonfiberdashkits.aspx


Compare the custom applications to what is being offered to the Forum members group buy prices.

Any questions or special quotes send me a PM.

just to clarify, this is a synthetic look a like for carbon fiber, and not actually carbon fiber, correct?

Yes, it is synthetic. Please don't confuse it with the vinyl overlays or stick on flat dash kits. Because the Crossfire console is made up of so many small pieces the stick on kits always leave a gap around each part that the silver shows through. The end result is a dash that looks like it has a bunch of flat pieces of CF stuck on.

The coating process completely wraps the contours of the part and looks molded as one piece. This process is top of the line.

Here is a comparison, sorry I could not find a picture of the CF stick on. Notice how you can see the silver edges on the second one.

Is this the same process where they suspend the film on the surface of a liquid, and dip the parts down into it?

That is essentially the way they explained it to me. It leaves a very hard finish that is buffed to a high gloss. My wife loves it. Every time she gets into the car she has to run her hands over it. She said it feels like the polished lacquer finish on a fine Italian jewelry box.

They don't have a retail storefront. I am working on offering this through local accessory and speed shops. I made arrangements with them to offer special group buy pricing for forum members.

exoticwooddash.com does this too. Checked the other day about doing my shift **** as a first step. Custom Coating as its called is done @ .95 a sq. inch. Figured I'd do the **** and then see. NOT, minimum order $150. If you're sure you're going to do the whole job it pays.
