Fenders! If Ive got a hood, headlights, and a cowl piece in CF, I want some damn fenders. How bout a sunroof? I know that they probably wouldnt sell like hotcakes, a lot of people like the glass ones, but Id take a CF over a steel anyday. And the glass ones are hard to find and relativly epxensive. Interior pieces? A shift and stereo/climate control surround would be cool. I know me and my freinds always tried making fiberglass ones, but we sucked. Maybe little things like the armrests and door pulls. Air filter housings/intakes? Little underhood ****, like a three coil holder for those people running direct fire? I know that mine and my two freinds hinges on our bin lids were broken, if you could devise some kind of hinge and latch assembly, Id buy CF lids.

Yeah, fender flares like the ones Onlyonthurs showed on the z-car, those are the best.

In all honesty ... I don't think that the fenders are a big deal .... they are fairly light stock as they are just a shaped piece of metal, no real structural parts to it.

Because if you have one CF part, and one Black part, that just contrasts too much.

You're just adding weight putting on fender flares(a little bit), and plus tthe rx7 stock looks the best(all the way around). Thats my opinion.

hahahah so true why we at it why not do the engine with cf, seriously who needs all alluminum when you can have all cf ,maybe wiegh like what 30 pounds? man you would go fast in that puppy!

Yeah, intake manifolds are a little different in our case...

But if Front, Intermediate and Rear plates were available in Aluminum for less than $2,000 ea (Racing Beat) then it would most definitely be worth using those in an engine rebuild for weight savings. At that point, you could probably lift the damn thing out of the car yourself instead of needing a friend and a big block of wood (or a cherry picker)
