ok I thought of some items I would love to see in carbon fiber when I was cleaning my car today :)
1) black antenna cover on the roof
2) wiper cowels
3) dome light cover
4) Radio cover all the way to center arm rest
5) glove box
6) steering wheel collum covers
7) valve covers (is that even possible?)
8) front fenders
9) radiator support
10) passanger door handle
11) driver door pieces

thats about all I can think of for now

I don't think interior parts mater as much since small stuff like that doesn't make your car loose weight... Let's think smart here! :mrgreen:
- CF/FG cargo covers since they are hard to find!
- CF/FG Doors because most of them have rust and door dings + weight reduction!!!
- CF/FG sun roof panels

(CF= carbon fiber FG= fiber glass)

evil yetti has cargo covers -oem style 60.00. CF would make too much noise if you have a stereo.

Some times, CF can be just for looks.

If the wiper cowl is too hard to make in cf, I'm guessing doors are out of the question.

I hear you on the cargo cover, it makes since... The door idea was just there, I guess it would be too hard and expensive to make :( Well I tried :lol:

Honestly, I'm surprised they can widthstand the temperatures of the oil circulating underneat it.

I know alot of manufacturers are switching to plastics for their intake manifolds. I'd like to see a CF IM, but that'll be very complex to make I'm sure.

I am trying to think of things as I dismantle my mx-3.

I think a variety of interior parts in CF would be great since its easier to make but more importantly its MORE affordable. Alot of people would buy them, and $$$ for whoever makes it and everyone is happy :)
