    Adding Carbon to the interior

    I was wondering if there is a preference on this site of where to get Interior Carbon Fiber pieces for your cars. Is macarbon good? or is there some other place I should look as well. Are all these parts plug and play?

    Actual links would be great!
    Thanks

    I have used OEMplus.com and http://www.audipartssuperstore.com/ some times its a question of sales tax and that depends on where you and the merchant are located. In my case OEMplus and MACarbon are located in the state where I am located.

    Wow. $4500 for all that c.f. doesn't seem bad considering what some of the interior pieces cost for these cars. Curious as to why you choose PPI over the likes of MAcarbon and others considering their prices are considerably higher.
    Either you feel their work is far superior, or you just have a great hook up something. Lol

    I'm orig. from Germany, so I know people
    and I know there quality standards, they r the same as mine...very high..since I have never seen Macarbon pieces in person ..I didn't want to take chances on ordering things twice...

    that's just me...settle for the best...and don't get disappointed

    I see no difference in quality between PPI or MaCarbon - both are top notch, excellent suppliers.
