Carbon Fiber body parts???
Wondering if you guys could post pictures of carbon fiber body parts for our FD's. I know that Extreme Dimensions sells CF stuff, other then them...who else do we have for this kind of stuff?
(Should state i'm looking for; front bumpers, rear bumpers, side skirts, front fenders, rear fenders. I already know where to get CF hoods, wings, dash kits, door handles and exhaust shields)
Thanks!!

Ah, i do remember the CF hatch too...we had a group buy, i'll have to look that up.
The doors as far as i can remember were for the inside panel, and not the door itself.

Heh, how about the whole car in CF? These have been wrapped I believe though with MS parts and front bumper I forgot who made.

Try importfan.com. I did'nt get this bumper from them. Won't recommend place I got this one from. The carbon finish is good but there are some fitment issues that I have to rectify.

Mike, I would *strongly* advise AGAINST going w/ CF body panels. Fitment isn't exactly spot on, and you can't exactly manipulate it to fit either. It's a hassle, looks like a$$ cuz of the poor fitment, and isn't much lighter (if at all) than regular fiberglass bodyparts.
That's my $0.02

HEHE...didn't actually WANT to buy CF body stuff...just wondering what was out there other than your usual hoods, wings and such.
Ramy: Also, saving my money to get that turbo problem fixed and to get those '99 spec taillights from you later this month!!

Oh gotcha. In that case, the easy answer is, almost everything is available in CF. And even some stuff that would surprise you. The Australian Bathurst FD extensively used CF. Carbonman (on the forum) is actually the guy who made those CF pieces for Mazda... he makes all sorts of CF pieces for race teams, including reinforced doors, intakes, piping, wheels, etc.
