MAcarbon R8 Carbon interior parts and introduction

[LaneS@macarbon.com]

Hi Everyone,

We just started sponsoring this board, and would like to share some pics of some of our Audi R8 carbon interior parts.

For those of you that have never heard of us, we have been around for about 5 years. We Started out just doing carbon parts for Ferrari, and have since become very big in the Lamboghini and Porsche markets. Now we are taking on the most amazing car Audi has ever produced, the Audi R8. Feel free to shot us an email or give us a call anytime, and please check out our website @ www.macarbon.com

Thanks for looking,
Lane Skelton

I just got the engine carbon cover and am looking for interior pieces to match.

I am on your website, can you explain the 'core charge'?

Thanks,

TT

Core charges are an upfront charge you pay when order the new pieces and that amount is refunded to you when you return the original part that you replace.
i.e. you order the door pieces. You pay the $775 cost + the $200 core charge. Once you get the new pieces and put them on, you ship the original pieces back (in good condition) and they refund the $200. You can also select to keep your original parts, but then you do not get the core charge back, so the total cost would be $975.

That is a perfect explaination on what a core charge is...Thanks!

Here is another Audi R8 wheel that we just did.

This wheel is done in Alcantara with a carbon top, carbon middle and carbon bottom section.

Here is a picture of the wheel above installed. This wheel was done in Alcantara with a carbon top and bottom, and the center section was left in the original silver.

Enjoy the pics!

Paddle extensions are another pricey item that would really compliment the wheel.It seems this forum may have spurned some competition from the different suppliers. Us R 8 owners really demand the best.

So all these parts are OEM plastic parts, or whatever the base material is, that have the carbon applied over the them?

You are correct, all of our R8 parts are done this way.

This is the best method... you get factory quality fit and finnish and the added beauty of real Carbon Fiber.
The hardest part of making a full re-placement part out of solid Carbon is the trim tabs and fasteners... its not impossable but you could compromise fit and finnish!!
