no, I'd just need pictures of the edges, detail shots of the fiber itself... if its done professionally I'd consider getting one.

If you're thinking about making them, could you do something along the lines of molding in some pods/doing something cool like that? I just can't see much reason to drop that kind of money on a headliner, cf or not

an economics class will teach you by setting the price higher, people will assume you have a very high quality product, which will draw some people in, but shut more people out. By having a lower priced item, more people will be attracted price wise, but those high end people will shy away from a cheap price. Find the equilibrium in there and set your price accordingly.

Or do as ^^^^^^ said, set your price low, and prove your quality with pictures, explanation of the creation process, and testimonials from customers.

Good luck.

As much as I would love to outfit my interior with all the tasty CF bits you guys are coming out with, I just can't see paying the costs associated with such a premium material that is just for looks. You guys come up with a safe set of body panels that retain the stock lines, and I will be very interested in the near future. However, I think you would make a killing if you were to offer the first 15-20 sets at cost, no holds barred, to the first 15-20 people to submit payment. If your product is quality, it will speak for itself and everyone will want them. I think you just need to get them out there ASAP. Consider it a gift to the community. You scratch our back, we're gonna scratch yours. :thumbsup

Couldnt you just lay fiberglass on your stock headliner? How much would it cost though to get a Fiberglass headliner instead of a carbon fiber one? I am interested. Just haven't gotten the money for something like a headliner when I could buy $200 turbo parts.

I voted 275 because it's not on my list of priorities. I'll just repeat what was stated above. If you want sales, then go as cheap as you can where you're still making money, and the volume of sales will be there. If they are more expensive, and you can deal with a sale here and there...you will develop a higher class name for yourself, and profit more when the sale happens. I say develop your name, and just offer a wider variety of products, and people will come. Do complete door panels, interior trim panels, console, find a way to make a bumper that won't shatter, C/F visors...etc. Ooooh! I like the visor idea!
