What CF parts do you guys want to see?

For those that are looking for CF parts, we are full tilt into a few. I am looking for ideas from FC owners for more. Here is what we are doing currently:

Mickey mouse gauge pods are hald through molding stages. Both 2 on the drivers right side and one on each side of the main gauge cluster.

CF TII scoop replacement - already done, full CF and bolts in like OEM.



S5 rear hatch cover in CF

Radio surround in CF already in tooling.

CF stock wing

CF sunroof replacement

Full CF A-Pillars (both drivers and passengers side for both S4 and S5) Here is our FD prototype unit drivers side. They will be sold in pairs, and cover the stock a-pillar.



Plus our hoods are going to be made by Fiber Images soon as well.

Thanks for your input.

I'd like to see the hood scoop insert in the reverse vent style for the people that have FMICs. But i must say that piece there is beautiful.

carbon fiber center console to go with the CFradio surround and CF shifter surround...............carbon fiber dash........both headlight covers in CF to match the hood scoop/hood. Carbon fiber widebody fenders........
What will the hatch look like? Carbon fiber hard top for the VERT..........not sure how feasible that last one will be though.

I would personally like to see a Carbon fiber hood with a properly desinged vent for the many of us who have gone FMIC.

Also I am working on a fiberglass rear hatch cover for the S5's It would be interesting to see CF thaugh I thaught about it, but really no place that has CF arround here that isn't out to rape me (figuratively speaking).

I don't know how practical this would be but the vents the ones above the stereo would be nice to see done in cf since they break so much!

You seem to have the rest down pat of the things I would like to see.
Thanks Dave!

Second that... RX7.com has the reverse louvered one.. for 380 friggin dollars and its fiberglass..

I'm in the procecess of making my own right now! I'm using the stock one and adding the louvers with wood, then going to 'glass over it, sand it and paint it. Should look good, but i'd rather have a carbon piece..

Agreed. Make it simple, but effective. Low price is nice aswell.

a carbon gauge pod that replaces the center vents above the logicon would be awsome.

all the stupid little broekn plastic vents . also the plastic thing behind the door handle w/ an aluminum handle would look sweet. The weight of the hoods isnt going up when fiber images makes them is it?

Also Carbon Fiber Fenders would be nice

Any real weight saving or extra strenght with your CF parts or bLiNg only?
I would paint any CF stuff anyways, so if you are not making lighter/stronger parts then Im not interested in the parts

(i know your original hoods had some weight savings...)

I would like to see what your mickey mouse pods look like
unless I misunderstood your post, this mickey mouse pod can hold up to FOUR (4) gauges?

"Both 2 on the drivers right side and one on each side of the main gauge cluster."

2 on the driver's right side (towards passenger outside the main gauge cluster) and 1 on each side of the main gauge cluster as in 1 on either side of the tach

i second the weight saving thing to, if you make it it should be lighter then stock, even if only a few oz, would make me feel better buying it.....
