Got this set clearcoated and will be polishing it in the next few days. There is a chance that it will be available for sale, but I'm just not sure yet (person that ordered it has not paid yet).

A standard 11oz 2x2 twill carbon fiber set for the C5 is $600. This set has upgraded fabric (20oz 2x2 twill) that is a usually an additional $100. I'd be willing to waive the extra $100 on this set though.

Did the buyer ever decide to pay you for this set finally, or is up for grabs at this point?

It is up for sale. He hasn't responded to me so first person to contact me gets it. I have a few different shifter plates available for this (2 different autos, 1 manual), however they haven't been sanded, clearcoated, and polished yet. So I should have the right one for anyone, just need to tell me which one you need so I can do it.

This set is sold. If anyone else wants a similar set made, just let me know. I have a few C5 cores in stock right now.

We have done them before, but the cost is considerably higher because of how much more time and effort it takes. At least a few hundred dollars more for a C5, I haven't priced it out.

I finally got the core exchange in for this set, so it has been polished up and will be shipped out today. Snapped a few quick pictures of it in the sun:

Beautiful work. Question for you: Is it possible for you to do a carbon wrap on a double-din faceplate that would match factory RS 6 carbon?

I could it it, but it wouldn't match the OEM pieces.

I retract anything I have said before about carbon wraps... That is some hot Stuff. By far my favorite set up yet. Nice job!!

Just to clarify, this is not a "carbon fiber wrap" since that term seems to get used to describe the fake vinyl "fabric" that a lot of people use to wrap their trim.
This is real, areospace grade, 20oz carbon fiber that has been hand laid over an OEM core. After it has been covered in epoxy, it gets sanded smooth, clearcoated, and polished.
If you already knew that, I apologize. Just want to make sure that there is no confusion as I seem to be getting a lot of emails from people lately who don't know the difference between the two. [up]
Matt, superb work, I tried to send a PM about getting a set for my c5 RS6, but i'm new here and im not sure if it worked. Can you check or perhaps PM me? with a bit of luck I can then reply.
Cheers.
