looking for some carbon options?
 

I know that carbonjoe is on vacation right now and is not taking any new orders, or taking any e-mails, so I was wondering from people who have experience, how do joe's prices match up to other companies like CSP and Airkewld?

I am looking to purchase both door and rear panels as well as a running board for my 57 oval.

so far the only company that I can find that does the rear panels is csp, and they are very pricey.

if anyone can help out, that would be super. thanks alot.

:agree:

First off nice screen name Mr. T. Carbon Joe has very competitive prices, the wait is worth it.

www.aircooled.net sells the CF door panels from remelle. although I have heard bad things about the availability of remelle products. :bawling:

ac.net does not sell any of Remmele stuff anymore, they had trouble getting stuff. Plus i heard over on STF that Remmele is going out of business.


Carbon Joes stuff was lower priced then anything available in Europe.

I also heard that they were going out of business but figured that ac.net might have some of the parts in stock... :bawling:

ok cool, thanks for the advise
 

I think I will wait for joe, I am in no hurry, I can drive around with no door panels for a while.

does anyone know how long is a while? hehe

Also, does joe do any custom orders? and is it super pricey?

I would love to see a roof rack with the wood panels replaced with carbon fiber......hmmmmmmm :p

just wondering, not every day you see that!

Stateside?
 

Does anybody know of any less expensive places to get CF parts in the states?

I'm starting to price this project out and one of the big concers is what to do about CF vs. fiberglass vs. stock sheetmetal.

Thanks for the help

There is a guy on thesamba.com who is selling CF dashboards. I'm waiting on him to make mine. It's real cheap. I'll let everyone know how it turns out. So far Carbon Joe is the cheapest.

I remember carbon joe posting one time that he was planning on doing a cf porsche style deck lid. Wish he would have made some available before he went MIA, i really wanted one before show season...

I genuinely hope I am not taken the wrong way by saying this, but am I the only person who doubts Carbon Joe is returning?

I don't know Carbon Joe. I have not talked to Carbon Joe. My feelings are totally based on the postings over the past several months including the last month or so of when Carbon Joe was posting.

IM sure he will be, i talked with him last week... hes been real busy working long hours on a new job.

having done his website and having to work through each product and pricing, i can tell you he was by far the cheapest and not at the sacrifice of quality either. he will be back. just don't know at what production level. it is his hobby, not his job. makes a big difference.

i would recommend you check out LA Performance. be sure to evaluate the pricing right since they have VAT over there. i think you may find them a good source.

Hi everybody,

Well, I´ve ordered from Carbon Joe last October and I still haven´t got all the stuff I ordered from him.However, the quality is excellent and yes he is alot cheaper as much as 175% cheaper than anyone in Europe.
I am also a friend of Remmele and he´s not out of business.He is giving up his business in France and moving back to Germany, regardless of the rumors you may hear he and his business are financially sound.He´s in the process of buying a place in Germany.Aircooled VW´s isn´t his only market.He does a lot carbonfiber stuff for various cars and race cars.He should be back up and running with a much bigger selection of products within the next 3 to 4 months.
CSP Carbonfiber products are very $$$$ Their dashboard in CF is 299 Euros,Joe´s is $80.Simple math.I ordered a CF fanhousing from CSP and the quality was sh** and I paid 372 Euros for it!! :mad:
Sorry for the long post guys.
