carbon fiber parts on an fc??
 
What carbon fiber parts for the fc does no one make but we all need as a weight reduction or for look? I know that hoods and gas doors are easy to come by but what isn't? Trunks for verts, sun roof inserts, headlight covers, TII scoops, stock spoiler etc. The only reason i ask is because if i can find five people to buy a part like a stock spoiler or a sun roof insert in carbon fiber it will be worth the cost to make the mold and show that there is a demand for carbon fiber fc parts. So if anyone has any ideas let me know......:icon_tup:

thanks brandon

i thought of some parts to make

trunks for verts, sun roof inserts, door panels, spoilers, tail light center piece,
dash, center console, center surround, speaker tower covers,
the little triangle that covers the screws for the passenger and driver mirror,
rear window wiper motor cover
and diffuser under the engine

tail light center / dash / speaker tower covers / rear window wiper motor cover

all has been made minus ^ that. and none of that would really have a market. wiper motor cover, pointless and no one would see it. Speaker tower covers, hard as fkkk to make and dont see it selling. Dash, wayyy to rich for Fc owners blood. tail light center..... maybe?

think outside the box. make a replica BN inverted hatch, I would buy that shit

S5/S4 turboII aero mirrors would be a great addition to the available market of CF parts for the FC.

Arm Rest/mirror control console Seen way to many broken ones in FCs. So having a CF replacement from brittle plastic might warrant some brownie points.

Door Grips While its not really that big of a deal, people really don't pay attention to the door grips on the door panels. Having a nice CF piece to replace it and house a place for the stock window switch might be a nice little project experiment.

Get me a pic and ill see what i can do

i need to have five people interested in anything i make to cover the cost of the mold so i dont lose money after that i dont care im not trying to turn a profit i just want some cool cf stuff on my ride. i know there has to be something that we all want

br4nd0n 04-16-10 02:43 PM

S5/S4 turboII aero mirrors
Arm Rest/mirror control console
Door Grips

i have these already i could make all of them its just finding 5 people to cover mold costs

I like to see dash blanks (stereo area), a blank for the power mirror/fog light/suspension control area, a blank for the cluster.

By blank I mean a replacement but with no cut outs so people can put what they want in place of what was there. Makes for an overall cleaner look in the interior.

heres some of the stuff I was talking about that someone else on ebay is making, prices are not too bad but who knows what the quality is like, doesn't look bad to me but im no expert.

they have, door triangles, shifter surround (two types), idiot light surround, TII scoop, radiator pannel, a guage holder that sits on the cluster surround (i believe thats how it sits anyhow)

but personally I would LOVE something like this but have "Rx-7" insted of "F" of coruse.

Lexus ISF CCS rear wing cap. (its on the mirrors also)

Not good for a street driven car if you dont have door bars, get t boned and your fucked. Plus i dont see FC owners wanting to pay what a CF door will cost.

Carbon FC doors are available currently from SuperNow. I think it was starting at 700 per door.

Stock rear spoiler. I've seen them out there for the FB's and the FD's, but never for the FC's.
Or at least I've never seen them...

Interior door panels would be sick too. Saw them on an S2000 and it looked tit...

Parts I'd love to see
 
Honestly if someone made oem style carbon louvers, turbo 2 style hoods, and hell maybe even wide body's I think that'd be so cool.
