The carbon stuff for door or rear overlays are fine for a track car to hide the sheetmetal, but there's no reason otherwise to replace what's already in the car unless it's damaged or missing, and then you just buy used parts from any number of people parting out cars. The OE interior panels are fine, look fine, and hold up fine, unless you're throwing bricks in the backseat. And if they're roughed up, a can of SEM brings it back new within minutes.

I should clarify my intent. The main reason I started this thread was to start an interest in OEM interior panel replicas. The reason I would like to see companies make replicas, is due to the cost of new OEM pieces. A new s14 dash costs $800 alone. The main reason for replacing these pieces is due to cracked dashes, scuffed up center consoles and glove boxes, and door panels with holes in them!
