I understand mods are not cheap but I do spend a lot of money on the maxima. If I had a lot of money to spare I would not be driving a maxima. If you want to guage interest first at a certain price and you got org members that will buy it go ahead. There are companies out there that make modifications at reasonable prices (Redline Max). The prices for mods on the maxima are a lot more then domestics, civics etc... Whatever, I don't want to argue this point to no avail. I will be buying elsewhere. Thanks for calling your propective customers "cheap" not a good sales tactic. Have a nice day.

Maxima95Tuner was the thread starter, he did not call anyone cheap..slammed95 did.
Parts for the maxima will probably always be more expensive because the market for them is not as big as it is for Honduhs, Especially for custom parta.
Sorry for post whoring.

I'd be interested in carbon fibre bulk heads that would behave similarly to the steel original design during impact.

I'd also be interested in carbon fibre bumper bars. The metal bars behind the covers.

wellllll its true

I'd consider Carbon fiber fenders, and a Carbon fiber front bumper ('97+ style with Stillen lip )

but other than that, I'd want a full carbon fiber replacement dash kit (no stick on) now... that would be HARD... and expensive... but it'd be cool

and how about a carbon fiber spark plug cover, and VI cover??

mmmm carbon fiber ducting through the front bumper for better cooloing of the brakes/intercooler/radiator... mmm seksi hahahaa

I was talking to a guy yesterday who is just starting to work on molding carbon fiber parts for cars and such. He can do quite a bit of things in CF, but he needs to know what to make.

My question is, what parts would you guys want in carbon fiber that arent being made already. I know he is working on hoods right now, and possibly carbon fiber guage faces that will change color. He said he can also use colored kevlar to make designs in the CF.

Give me ideas guys, Im gonna be calling him up soon and letting him know what you guys want. Also, anyone in Az that wants to use their car for testing, let me know.

Thanks
When would these parts be avaiable to us? (carbon fiber engine cover and trunk lid) anything to make the car lighter!!!

One thing ive seen on other cars that looks great and probably would be cheap is a piece of CF that replaces just the glass in a sunroof . Just take the glass out and put a nice light weight piece of CF in,you would just sell the insert
