Why are manuals getting the shaft?

Why is it that every site I go to in search of Carbon Fiber interior for my 89 only carries it for an automatic????? That so dumb...I mean I know I could just use the automatic one and leave out the center piece but it wouldnt look right!! Anyone know where a manual carbon fiber kit is made?

Call Versatrim (626)961-1841. I've spoken with Joshua in the past. I ordered my c.f. kit from them years ago when they were known as "Flying Wing". New company, but they still distribute the kits. they were made in FL as I recall. Oh btw, I ordered a auto kit and have switched to a T5. I still haven't ordered the piece to cover the shifter plate because they wanted something like $85 just for it. But they did have a kit for the manual tranny equipped cars. Good luck, Lon.
