Carbon sixth element hybrid forged red carbon?

[jdezee]

I am debating on getting a carbon overlay for the shifter console and I'm very interested in the hybrid forged red carbon from Carbon sixth element in matte.

I can't seem to find any examples of the hybrid forged red carbon anywhere. I'm worried the forged carbon would look bad on the shifter console.

Did you email them for a pic? Going to be your best bet.

Now that just makes to much sense. I'll shoot them an email now

Found an Instagram post with the matte forged carbon in red. Looks pretty sick.

It's either going to look good or super cheesy/cheap. Go for it

Too bad is like $550 shipped which is to much for me to take a gamble on it. $200 and under I'll roll the dice.

Oh, yeah - I figured this was one of those cheaper ones. IMO, forged carbon can look good or cheap, not a lot of middle ground.

Shipping would be either $50 or $100 for console overlay.

When I added to cart and went to checkout, looks like shipping was $50. Coming from Malaysia from what I can tell

Yeah $50 is a large flat rate box

Hahaha! Yeah, forged carbon reminds me of chip board, especially when it has a matte finish (like in the video). Very hit or miss.

I have some forged carbon parts from them. They advised against doing matte because once it's scratched, it's done.

Curious what parts you got from them? Any pics?

I bought their wing, antenna cover, and emblems.

Well I put my money down and bought the red forged carbon console cover in gloss. I'll post up once I get it to see how it looks. It was like $438 shipped. Here to hoping I like the look of it!
