Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

While looking for new wheels for my car I happened upon a whole factory carbon fiber kit. I�m not sure what it�s sorth though.
what do you folks think is fair?
The cluster surround, ebrake, steering wheel, shift **** lower radio piece and two door sills.
I was going to say "not much", but Bill beat me to it with his much more concise answer
more diplomatically I'd say it's not worth the difficulty of the work you'll have to do to fit it. I certainly wouldn't spend any more than what Joe suggested above...
The steering wheel and the shift know are in quite good shape (You would need to recover the steering wheel leather), the strips that goes along the dash also look good and are a direct replacement and subtle touch.
If you can ge the 3 stripes of the dash, the steering wheel and the shift **** for 150-200$ it would be a good deal for me.
Carbon fiber is simple to restore. I�ve done it a thousand times. I don�t think you guys are being realistic. I�m also not sure where you see not in good shape in the images.
The steering wheel alone is worth a few Benjamin�s.
i offered a fair price and paid a fair price. Is going to look good in my grey cabriolet.
If it makes you happy, buy it and use it and don�t look for validation online. The carbon fiber parts are a small fortune new, and valuable used if in good condition to a buyer that likes them. We�ve seen CF shift ***** alone sell for many hundreds on this forum. On the other hand, they�re worthless if you don�t care for the look. These parts are worth exactly what a willing buyer is paying a willing seller, no more, no less.
Exactly
I was just trying to address that they worth something, 200$ would be a really good deal. Up to that, it depends on how much you are willing to pay but keep in mind that those pieces are far than perfect and they need to be restored.
The **** is worth $250
ebrake worth $150-175
steering wheel: $200 if cracked not badly, $800 if not cracked, $0 if cracked badly
cluster gauge: $250 if uncracked
So far I am happy with it. It�s going to look good in my car. I won�t be using the sill plates for sure.
The shift **** is totally awesome. It needs nothing a couple of cracks but when installed you don�t see them. I am selling the steering wheel but I ain�t giving it away. I don�t agree with the lame appraisal from the peanut gallery.
Don�t ask for appraisals then. Exactly as said above, it�s worth what a buyer is willing to pay a seller.
The carbon bits in my 996 interior were so bad I think they detracted from the cars value when I sold it
If you had a Rupes Nano Ibrid, you could get those pieces looking brand new. Some of us enjoy the restoration process, so if you can get it at a better price because it needs to be polished, then all the better.
Cheap? It's all worthless, in my book. Of course that's not saying you can get it for nothing. New from the factory, the stuff costs a fortune - that doesn't mean "it's worth a fortune"... You asked what we thought it was worth...you got a lot of answers you don't like. The bottom line is, you pay what YOU think it's worth - it doesn't matter what anyone says. **Just for perspective, Auto Atlanta says the back seats in my car are worth $3785.60 (draped leather)
Would I pay that much ? No way... in my book, they're worth $200...
