I think we should make a poll to see what would be in the most demand, benifiting both the buyer and seller..If I were to have one demand, it would be carbon fiber bolt on fender flares, now that would DEFINITELY sell, along with that nose peice..I'd buy the CF hood but I want a different type of vent to exhaust..Would be a good idea to put an intake on the nose peice for the rad as well..CF mirrors are not my thing, mabye look into APC

I do adjust them a little bit sometimes when my friend drives it or when my pops drives it. It was basically a suggestion- I mean, you don't have to do them if you don't want to. I think they would be different tho
if you really want to know what i think, i think you shoudl make carbon fiber intake manifolds. there is such a shortage of aftermarket intake manifolds, and well cf would save weight, and just be badass. i also think an airdam would be awesome. but maybe in urethane instead of cf. but i dont know if you can do urethane(dont take that as degrading, your work is beautiful, im just not sure if you have esperience with it is all)
I would love to gett my hands on some CF mirrors like the JGTC style little mirror on the little peg leg that would fit my car I almoust got a pair but somebody wanted them more than I did.

Forget cf mirrors...
What we *really* need are CF DOORS! I mean seriously, has anyone other than me noticed that the doors seem to be made of solid LEAD?
The hood is light enough that if it wasn't for the prospect for a vent, I wouldn't care cf vs. fiberglass vs. steel. But the DOORS have to weigh a ton and a half.
Though replacing them with cf or fiberglass would probably screw the regidity of the car somehow.... but you have to agree they're forkin' heavy and though they'd be nigh impossible to make, and expensive as hell to purchase, every racer worth his weight (reduction) would have them.

id love to see ways to cut down on the weight and steel. hell, why doesnt someone make a full CF unibody
thatd reduce a lot of weight
i agree with vipernicus42, our doors are outrageously heavy. the hood weighs 35lbs is what ISC racing says. they offer a fiber glass hood that weighs 5lbs i believe. some nice quality fiberglass door shells would be nice.

the thing with door would be safety ... I don't know about you but if i ever do get hit by the side i would like my protection ... I don't want a FG door there .. unless he does it properly which would be installing tubular steel frame within the door for protection ... but to do that you would probably have to make your windows fixed in the up position all the time because it won't have anywhere to travel. Secondly its a very complex design. He would probably require a core for every door. you will still need all your door mechanism (lock, handles, window rail ...) very very complex ... I don't even think that companied out there do such things for "Street" cars.
Those are bleh....but if you make some like these....
