Carbon fiber center console and glove box

So im about to start the process of making a carbon fiber interior. OEM look but weight savings and the look if all goes well i will be making a dash board. Ill be starting first with the glove box door, then a center console. Would anyone be interested in any of these pieces assuming the work is good quality? Will post pics of the process and final product once i get under way. I figured since im making a mold i mine as well make a few if others are interested. I couldn't seem to find good CF parts for my s130 for a fair price. Im considering doing solid CF and FB glass core CF outside.

Ideas

There are all kinds of cool ways to class up the interior, there is way to much plastic. I would like a nice carbon fiber / wood accent panel for the doors. Everything that isn't wood or carbon will be leather or brushed aluminum, could be very classy and sporty at the same time This is something I would love to do for a living, create custom interiors for cars, sounds fun..

Right now i am working on using a new 2014 ford fusion grille and build an air dam around that. this will give the front end of the car a Aston-Martin look maximize cooling by flowing more air over the radiator. Im working on fitment right now mold construction will start on the 20th. I hope to have pictures posted then of the progress. the prototype will be made of fiberglass mat. If successful i believe a Kevlar reinforced fiber glass build would be strong and cost effective. I have some sketches i will post.
