No they applied the CF over the top of my OEM parts. They normally have everything for the C4 except the Radio Surround and the MT Console shift plate. The rest is an exchange however I specifically asked them do do ALL my parts.

It was a 2 month turn around. The POC at APSIS is Jesey. He is hard to understand however if you tell him you want somthing simular to what Daryll had done he would know what you want.

Its best to get everything done at once as attention is paid to how the weave is ran when its overlayed.

If you have further questions pm me and we can chat. This was a challange for them as they dont get very much C4 business as its expensive, however they had never done a C4 ZR-1 before so for them they were looking forward to the different challenge. In short their web site spoke volumes. They know what they are doing. The tesimontals swung me too.

The coil is different and the slot for the coil in the wheel is different, I'm quite sure. If you had an air-bag deployment with a '90 you needed to use a '91 air-bag, steering wheel and coil kit. Check it closely before you send it!! I have a quite nice wheel if it's a no go! I might be able to do a snapshot of both, I believe I still have a '90 also. Don't know I'd need to look.
LMK!

GC - '91MY on the left/top and '90MY on the right/bottom. It appears that the '90MY could be modified to do a '91MY and that the '91MY could do a '90MY. Another one of those "backward" only compatible pieces.

Nice catch WV yep it appears I have a one year only steering wheel to add to the parts bin. I knew the air bag was a one year only but not the steering wheel.Thanks GC !

You could use it for your project by just modifying it. It doesn't look like that great an issue. What condition does a wheel need to be in for them to do their treatment for you? My '91MY might make a good candidate. Where are they? If you knew what you wanted, the wheel could go from me to them to inspect.

No idea it might be just a clean core since they are rewrapping it. The one I bought from scott is in a 9 out of 10 condition

Can you list by the numbers the parts you sent APSIS?

Thanks for the explanation on providing your parts as base for CF application (It appears Apsis affixes real carbon fiber to existing OEM parts)

I am assuming showing them this thread Link can only help our cause but I will wait for your further evaluations once you have the CF parts in hand

CF being Carbon Fiber...and not C*******F****

Jesey must be Norwegian as I am and equally hard to understand......by some

Cliff look at post 16 I listed what I sent. I agree I want to see this in my hand and installed and provide my impressions to the community. I only will recommend it if I was impressed. So far I am. However I reserve final judgement until I see the final and installed product.

Looks great so far GC. I have stock piled all extra interior parts to do the same. I have a local shop that does the real cf overlay also, not sure if they can do the lettering which would be a deal breaker. Keep us updated.

Will do did they give you a quote Ricky? I was skeptical until Jesrey send me a pic of a C5 or C6 fuze cover. Lots of words and graphics and his folks matched it perfectly.

How many people are serious about getting this done? My thought is if we get enough owners to go in on this work we might be able to get a group buy. If the price was fair enough I might get both 91 done.
