What kind of carbon fiber parts do you guys want?

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

You know those little clips holding various parts onto the car that get lost when you pull out stuff? (ie. The underpart of the dash, the clips holding in the ashtray)

I want those to be carbon fiber.

Well, so far, we have a carbon fiber engine block being made, carbon fiber spark plugs, and carbon fiber cams being made.

Now for those being serious, what we really have going is a carbon fiber radiator shroud, carbon fiber engine cover, carbon fiber valve cover, and CF A/C vents. Any other ideas will be mentioned to him, but these are what we have to start with. I'll be contacting Goldmember, Y2ksesteve, and maybe a few others about using their cars as testers. Ill keep everyone updated on what we are doing.

Are you planning on producing that? If you are, I wont interfere. I just thought it was a good idea, and thought maybe alot of people could benefit from it. I dont want to try to steal away your idea.

I'm working on some stuff but I'll post about it later.

Have the guy make carbon fiber fenders and I'll pay anything.
and trunk

We're doing the vq35 engine cover, and I'll see about doing fenders. I actually mentioned fenders to him once and he said he could do it.

-Carbon Fiber mats
-Carbon Fiber outside door handles
-Carbon fiber trunk mat instead of that cardboard one


I think a full Carbon Fiber body kit (Bumper replacemnt) With
Carbon Fiber Hood and Carbon Fiber Fenders might not look too good. See if he can get a hood with maybe some vents like on the 230kompressor hood for a reasonable price under 400.00 and I think you got something good.

he said about 400 is as low as he could possibly go on a hood. We were thinking of trying out something like the stillen body kit, only in carbon fiber. It would look a little different too, Im sure.

$400 seems really good for a custom c/f hood.
A stillen look a like kit in c/f would be really nice, or even just the front lip.
As far as a c/f bumper,fenders and hood not looking right i think that is a personal opinoin. I've seen a civic with c/f front end and it look kinda weird from far away. Being that the whole front was black. But when you come closer and see that its actual c/f it looks pretty sweet.
