Create Carbon

Is Create Carbon based out of Japan? How long does it take to receive shipment from them if anyone has experience purchasing some of their cf interior trim pieces.

Cheers.

I think China. I've bought some stuff from eBay and another part from their site. They shipped pretty quickly and came in a week or so. I was very pleased. I've also chatted with them on eBay and they were extremely helpful and prompt to get back to me. I plan to buy more from them in the future.

Awesome! Thanks for the info! I wasn’t sure if I should order from their site/shopify store or go through a distributor. But a week or so is common and not bad at all so I’ll be placing an order now!

If you buy from eBay, you can negotiate the price a bit, especially if you are buying multiple items. His name is Gogo. Super helpful.

Anyone ever get their red carbon stuff? I would love to see it side by side from OEM red carbon.

I’ve not seen any aftermarket carbon that matches the color, weave pattern, nor weave quality of the OEM carbon parts. Not saying that all the aftermarket stuff is totally horrible, but it simply doesn’t match OEM.

Carbon Sixth Element does the red weave too. Not sure if theirs matches OEM. I went with forged carbon from both companies, so I can't speak to either regarding the red weave.

One of our distributors sells Create Carbon and reported some FL5 fitment issues. I am not sure if they have been addressed yet or not but I'd be careful with this one.

Which parts? I have their shifter surround trim and hood vent. Both fit perfect. I also have some door trim pieces to install, but at first glance, seem like they will fit well.

Would you mind sharing some pictures of the hood vent and shifter trim for reference? I’d appreciate being able to see how they look fitted!

No specifics sorry. We were going to add the line to our catalog but were warned of the issues so we decided to hold off for now. Hopefully everything you have on hand is good to go.

Is the interior stuff stick-on or replacement?

Stick-on, which is nice since it made the install easier. It's very thin, so it doesn't add much more height or width.

I was wondering, if someone has the OEM CF center console piece and the door pieces; what do y’all do for the rest of the inside? No one makes pieces that even remotely match the OEM carbon fiber appearance. Should I do alcantra?
