If and when I ever get the DKOV Motorsports website finished, you can order them there... but for now, you can order through me at dkov@pacifier.com, or IM me here on the forum.
Price...
Low, low introductory price of only $199 for the standard, high gloss, Gray/Black Carbon Fiber liners in EITHER the stock (as shown earlier) or yes... the SUNROOF version
Payment...
Snail mail official check/MO or personal checks, please no cash or Paypal. Personal checks will delay shipping.
Turnaround time...
The liners are getting produced now to build inventory. Even from scratch, as one forum member has seen, it only takes us a couple of days to build the liner. Add shipping time and they will be delivered anywhere in the US or Canada in less than two weeks, probably only a week.
These liners are super high gloss and are designed to NOT be covered with felt or cloth, although you could. They are built to BE The liner and look uber-cool. The near mirrorlike finish is UV protected for long life and multi-clear coated (cut and buffed between coats) for durability and shine.
They all come trimmed with the sun visor mountings pre-tapped/marked for easy mounting as well as the map light hole pre-cut. The 3rd brake light space is NOT pre cut as not everyone has them but it IS marked for easy and exact trim and fit.
ALSO Available is the 3rd brake light cover in your matching CF Finish!!! Price is $49 but is disounted $10 when purchased with your headliner.
Along with that, we've completed and have inventory on the Cigarette Light Surround. Pricing to follow...
Yes, we hear the demand for a MOLDED Map Light in CF... we're working on it. A little complicated so be patient.
We are nearly ready to go into production with the 4 main bezel pieces of the dash/center/shifter plates. We are trying to complete MOLDED pieces rather than sticky back covers.
Lots of other CF parts are forthcoming

Yes, I'd love to built them but I'm concerned about the cost. They will be fairly thick and expensive. The bold will be huge too and that is spendy. The real question is will I sell enough of them to justify the costs?
I'm open for input on this one
Sail Panels...
I'd very muck like to make them. In fact, the INNER panels as well for both notchie and fast back cars. They are definately on the list
Map Lights...
As posted above, I've decided "yes" but need to complete the conceptual stuff regarding the design and build of these highly complicated moldings and internal workings fab. Not as easy as just sticking panels to the thing
This sounds real cool. If you need help with the web side storefront let me know. I have 3 online stores running at the moment, each with around 400 (and growing) items that has the ability to accept PayPal (not that you'll want to use my store, but the engine behind it). PM me if you need anything.

Why does the rear firewall cover need to be thick? It should be about the same thickness as the headliner. I think it would be easier than the headliner, but I've never tried making anything. I'd be a buyer if they're around the same price as the headliner. BTW, since you put that Ebay auction up, I'm really considering getting one now instead of waiting...unless you plan on keeping the price the same until after Christmas.

The thinking behind the firewall liner is that it needs to be able to support the two ends through that smaller area in the center. Ever picked up a stock one? It bend there in the middle. So, we're building the top "sill" and the wrap down thicker to support that extra weight during shipping and handling and installation to avoid cracking or any kind. Plus, the added thickness to improve heat shielding from the motor.
Like I said though... alot of that is conceptual as we are trying to decide the best course of action. I'm sure there will be some trial and error.
So far though, it looks as if only 1 or 2 folks may even be insterested in getting one so that really precludes the cost. Unless of course, they want to pay ALOT for a one-time custom build... which they wont.
So... as I sais, we'll see
AS for the Rricing...
The plan now is to raise the price to our actual retail point at the 1st of the year. That should be $235 for the standard and $249 for the Sunroof version. So they are not going up THAT far, but up some.
We are holding the price down and breaking even now only to get the word out about the liners and show the quality and workmanship. After that...
Anyway, the $189 figure was a knee-jerk moment of weekness to try and further inspire some sales through Ebay. I really should have kep the price the same at $199 but I figured, what the heck...
They're all $189 for now. What's $10 when it comes to marketing?

Dang...so there's no option to get one without a map light hole cut in them?
I was really hoping to ditch that map light, it's about the cheesiest map light around. I'd rather have a cord running to a lighted rear view mirror than the Fiero one! Really though, I had planned on ditching the stock light and modifying the sun visors to not need them for locating anymore. Any possibility of getting the headliner without the hole?
Also, aren't there any pictures of the pure carbon part? Some close ups of the weave and surface finish? Installed pics? LOL...pictures, I love pictures!

Yeah. Any pics of the regular ones and such? I'm probally going to buy in the next couple of days regardless, but it would make me feel alot better to see atleast one picture of what I'm actually buying. Thanks either way.
By the way, I'm going with the sunroof headliner.
EDIT: in an unrelated note: YIPEE! Quarter of a grand.

DKOV, I AM FOR SHURE going to get the headliner, just wish I had the funds to right now . All my funds are tied up in x-mas presents and me "new" engine. I will the spring or summer...will you still be making them then or do I need to order sooner? Also, put me on the list of the "for shures" for the rear things, and just about any other CF interior stuff .

They'll be around for a long time to come... no hurry
Make a note though... the cost of the liners is going back up to around $249 after the 1st of the year.
Ah! I have to buy one now. Saving $60 is just too good to pass up. So, the way to order is just bid on the Ebay auction?
It's the most efficient way... I put 9 on there so that nobody will get their bid "upped" past the $199 I original stated but probably get them for $189. Another $10 savings
With the sheer number of orders and questions I'm getting on these liners... It's going to be the BEST way to ensure you are at the top of the list!!!
What have I started?!??!!

DKOV... I am in the process of making a new plastic t-top frame... (25% complete) not a headliner... but a plastic frame... the aftermarket would be nice... it would supply you with a portable detailed t-top frame (out of plastic of course)
let me know if you're interested... it will go to the highest bidder

I really want a headliner, but I am concerned about the noise level. I don't want cabin noise higher than it already is because I will have a loud exhaust, and possibly an upgraded sound system. When I do the system I am focusing on having crisp sounds instead of deafening volume, so how do you think this headliner will be with echos and reverberation? Thanks, --Bryson

Were you going to post a picture of the stock color?
I'm working on it. Of all things, the picures are getting stuck in cyberspace!!! I had the tech take pictures of all the different parts so far and send them to me via email... they are not getting here. We're getting some sort of odd "rejected" notice having to do with a SPAM BLOCKER. But only when the pictures are attached. Very strange... We're working on it.
They will be posted as soon as I get them.
Sorry for the wait.

Rates for shipping/handling charges depend on the location of course but for instance...
UPS Ground to San Fransisco is about $20. Florida is not quite twice that. That is if we ship from the existing inventories here, which we get in bulk from manufacturing in Canada... if it's a custom build, it comes directly from manufacturing and the costs are more due to the fact it's being shipped individually from Canada.
So, as the volumes go up, the costs go down as well... less duty in shipping in bulk. So, as I've posted before, I'm planning on pulling all your orders from inventory here in the States, rather than ship from Canada. That'll save you all money!

That may be just the ticket... let's wait and see how it goes pulling a mold from the actual stock liner for the t-tops. It worked out with the others. I'll stay in touch

As I've done and recommended for folks to do, use a thermal accustic lining on the backside of the liner to deaden the sound and insulate the car. It can be purchased in sheets, or I can even start offering the piece as an option, for about $25 bucks or so. That will take care of you problem.
or... i could send you a proto fiberglass one that i pull from my mold...
the problem with stock t-top board is it doesnt wrap up along under the sides of the seals... only the fabric is tucked under them but for a good fiberglass one it would need to cover where just fabric is

I'm confused about the 3rd brake light cover... Ony your ebay thing it says "to compliment your headliner". Does it cover where the light is (like the fiero store and other places have that makes it show "fiero" or "Fiero GT" or something), or does it "cover" the plastic part on the interior? Any pics of the actual ones insted of the red?

It doesn't "cover" the existing light fixture, it completely replaces the stock 3rd Brakelight Cover inside the car. The thought is that it is odd to have a nice shiny new CF Headliner with the old gray or brown or tan or whatever brake light cover that goes over it.
If you followed the post about pictures... I'm still waiting for them. Silly email issue not allowing attachements. But we'll get it worked out.
Anyway, does that clear it up or did I confuse you more? I hope I helped

Can you PLEASE make this on the fly? My mechanic is installing my L67 and ripped out the inner insulation. I would much rather have CF than aluminum... I'll buy you the pattern if you can have it made for a reasonable price. http://www.fierosails.com/heatshield.html
Please let me know at FieroGTguy@aol.com
Thanks! Greg

First things first... let's get an accurate template for the piece you want, then we'll measure for material and thickness and any other special elements. Then we'll be able to plot an accurate reasonable price.
I don't think it will be a problem to build for you. How much time do you have? We'll have to make the mold based off the template, test fit if you want us to be absolutely sure of fit, finish and shipping... might be a couple of weeks or more.
I'm happy to do it though.

I was checking on things, and it appears that the engine is going to be installed in a couple days. I'm guessing that it would be a PITA to install after the fact unless there were slits madestraight down the piece to slide the wiring and stuff through. Since I don't have my car, you would just need to make the exact piece as the template, and we would worry about the fit modifications.
How much could you make a piece similiar to the size of the headliner for?
Thanks, Greg

Looks like all the ebay purchasers are in and accounted for as well as a few non-ebay purchasers...
There's still a few folks that sent emails or posted on the forums that wanted a liner that I have NOT accounted for.
I just want to make sure I get your liners pulled and ready to ship if you are still interested in getting them.
I figured out how to send invoices via Paypal so any of you that were wanting one but did NOT want to go via ebay or didn't know how to place an order, just post here or send me an email, let me know what you want, 3rd brake light added or not, and your shipping address, and I'll send you an invoice that is Point-n-click to pay.
Then your liners will ship out with this current lot.
Thanks again to all that purchased. Looks like a dozen or so going out this first time around
ideas sound good so far 
. All my funds are tied up in x-mas presents and me "new" engine. I will the spring or summer...will you still be making them then or do I need to order sooner? Also, put me on the list of the "for shures" for the rear things, and just about any other CF interior stuff
