Default >>QUESTION<< Interested in custom interior???

Hi everyone,
I wanted to introduce something we have been offering for a while now....
Custom Interior Pieces with the look of Carbon Fiber & Burl Woods!
A perfect answer to enhance where you live when you drive! These are NOT stick on covers/overlays. The finish is applied to GM OEM parts. A guaranteed perfect fit.

We started with C6, then C5 and now I wanted to do it for the C4 interiors.
We were interested in your opinions. If interested, what pieces would you want to see done? We offer this finish in 8 colored carbon looking finishes and 2 beautiful woods!

Feel free to post and or email me direct:
ed@tkoperformance.com

Below is a little more about our products. Since we don't have any C4 parts done yet, we posted some C6 & C5 for ya.

________________________________________

Each item is put through a multi step process that achieves a stunning unique finish unlike anything around. Covered in a tough show quality polished gloss which gives it a deep 3 dimensional look.
The pieces look like they came from the factory.....only better .

We will offer 2 programs. (1) core exhange. or (2) Send in your parts and get them back















Available in 10 beautiful Finishes!

(From Top left to Right)Yellow, Dark Red, Dark Blue, Orange, Green, Silver, Gun Metal (Darker more subtle then regular Carbon look) Regular Carbon and Burl wood, Black Burl wood finishes.
For a little more $ Inquire about actual GM colors to match your exterior paint!

I'd be fairly interested in a Leather trim package if available. No crazy colors, just a complement to the rest of the interior. Make it look less cheap.

To the parts you've made, they look beautifully done. That C6 interior with the regular carbon fiber looks like it really belongs there.

Looks like great stuff!!

I really like the color matched items.

As far as which interior pieces...Probably the center console piece, vents in passenger area and driver side and maybe door handle area. I'm not one to try and overdue something just enough to make it stand out and be different.

Nice product. Thanx for finally including the C4.

I'd eventually like to replace every single stinking piece of plastic with carbon fiber. The dash panels, door inserts, the plastic trim around the back hatch, the plastic trim under the halo, and the parking brake cover. I'd even like to have the leather upper dash pad changed out to carbon fiber if I could get a matte finish.

Sure why not As long as we can still get the parts should not be a problem. Even then we could just switch over to having you send in your parts. Either way we will be able to work on 84-96 interior
trim

Great, keep that coming. That what I'm looking for. Actual items you want done. This way we know what to do first..!

As for including the C4...you bet. I dig the C4 but I was never a fan of the stick on finishes to snaz up the interior..Always though the aftermarket could have done better there. JMHO..

Can you give me the first 2 you would want done?

I don't think we can replace that. I know they sell new ones (incase its cracked) but I'm hoping we can get the trim around it to tie in with what ever else we do on the dash, console...etc

Good question. As I narrow down the parts we will do first, I'll get that all for you.
As you can see by our site the pricing is very reasonable. Plus we do what no one else does (including GM) We take everything apart (if there is chrome, leather..etc trim) so this way every thing does not get hit/sprayed.

Plus there are certain areas where it could look funky because of the angle (again one reason why GM or anyone does NOT do the gauge clusters) We take care of and address those areas..!

I'm looking forward to getting this off the ground. I really appreciate all of your help. Please keep the ideas/items that you want done first coming.I think you guys will like what we will are going to do..

What about elimitating completely such as some of teh other kits do, with a flat, plain
panel?

Can you do just solid colors rather then the colored carbon-fiber look? If so I would be very interested!

Someone else just asked about this too. I did not know they had a "flat replacement". I'd have to see it. But I think the answer is yes.

Not real. Its the same process that Caddy, lexus...etc uses for there interiors..

To do these parts in real carbon, with all the compound & reverse curves, clips, attachments....it would cost a small fortune. Plus with real carbon a lot of resin is used which can yellow or crack over time.

I personally think in some cases our carbon finish line is even nicer then real anyway. The patterns are more perfect. No worry about imperfections in the fabric. (I know because we work with and have actual Carbon fiber pieces manufactured for us..)
We had them side by side at Carisle. hard to tell the difference.
What actually sways people towards this is the touch of metallic in some of the colors. The pictures do these pieces no justice.

I'm sure it could be done..

I'll be putting all of this together soon and we can really get this rolling.
Along with the questions, let us know what you want done first..
Big thanks all

The first two panels? the center console, and right dash panel (radio bezel?). Then I'd really like to have the panels around the back hatch area. I'd say those first, but I think it'd be really goofy with nothing else done yet.

I would be interested. The rubber coating from the factory sucks. I would also like to see the pieces that go on the door around the window and mirror switches since the have the crappy rubber coating also.

The quality looks very nice. If you get any C4 stuff done w/prices, be sure to post back. Some larger, HQ pics on your website would be great too, if you get them.
