    New Carbon Fiber Options Now Available



    We’ve added several new carbon fiber body options for the Mk4 Roadster and ’33 Hot Rod. These options are now in stock, and available for purchase on our parts catalog – www.factoryfiveparts.com.



    Watch the above video where Dave Smith and Tony Zullo discuss these new options.

    Carbon Fiber Roadster Dash – $475



    This is the same carbon fiber dash with glovebox that was apart of our 25th Anniversary Mk4 Roadster! Upgrade from the standard aluminum dash and vinyl padding to this pre-formed carbon fiber dash.

    Note: Gauge and steering shaft template included. Fits Mk1, Mk2, Mk3, and Mk4 Roadsters. Does not fit the 289 USRRC Replica.



    Hot Rod Carbon Fiber Engine Side Covers with Louvers – $999



    Upgrade your ’33 Hot Rod engine side covers with these carbon fiber engine side covers that feature louvers to help keep the engine bay cooler. The side covers are clear coated and are 3 mm thick.

    Note: For use with the ’33 style grill only.



    Hot Rod Carbon Fiber Bike Fenders – $1,499



    Upgrade your ’33 Hot Rod fenders with these carbon fiber fenders! The side covers are clear coated and are 3 mm thick. Fit the Hot Rod and Speedstar.

    Is the new MkIV trunk lid available?

    Not sure I want to pull the body back off yet, but that Carbon Dash is real tempting.

    Looks great.
    One thing to note is its a good idea to line the inside of the side hood covers with foil so the engine heat doesn't yellow the carbon fiber.

    I"m curious about this as well. Is the new trunk lid a direct replacement for the old one, and will it be made available for sale?

    Going to give the new carbon fiber dash a try on the Mark I! She need a little more cleaning up and very hard to find the older Mark I dash panels. Just need to get better soon so I can go back to work on the car.

    Maybe a carbon fiber hood for the Mark I in the works too? Maybe?
    Nice that you made a template to use the dash on a Mark I!!
