carbon fiber parts??

I don't see the point of going through the effort of making a CF replica that doesn't reduce any weight. Just get some CF overlay if you just want the look. Leave real CF pieces for people interested in serious weight reduction.
 
I'd be interested in a CF hood. I like the evo style hood and i just so happen to have a fiberglass one that could be used for a mold.
 
Stockish CF hood with the GT500 vent.
CF trunk
CF Skirts
CF Radiator Shroud/Header Panel
CF Headliner
CF Dash or misc interior parts
CF Headlight Inserts would be neat for those with Hightowers. (Thnk Swazo did somthing like that when he made his, those were projector headlights though too..)
 
I would also be interested in an:
EVO style hood in CF;
CF trunk (not the current turkey tail thing!);
CF Skirts;
CF Radiator Shroud/Header Panel;
CF Engine cover for original engines and for ST220 intakes...
 
I would be up for an OEM style carbon fiber hood.
Personally I'm not a big fan of small carbon fiber bits unless you have multiple pieces to accent each other. Case in point. I wouldn't want carbon fiber mirror covers if I couldn't have a hood and trunk to go with them. Also doing two mirrors also has the same issue of needing two pieces like the fenders, which isn't material heavy, but definitely might be time consuming to make and possibly expensive to sell. Think 75 bucks a mirror that's 150.00 I think it'd be way easier to move a hood for 100-200 dollars more. I dunno just MO. I say work should be done to get a hood and trunk done and then move from there.
 
if you actually do something you can add me to your list as a person to buy a cf trunk and mirror covers.
 
A 98-00 CF trunk would be awesome. I'd get in on the pre 98 group buy but I can't stand those taillights. But seems like we already have a reliable source in the community so hopefully shouldn't be too hard to get done.
 
Would be in for an OEM hood for sure. Depending on price, also quality of product as in how many layers of CF, rolled edges, vacuum bagged, consistency of the weave. Maybe a 98+ trunk as well.
