I think he was talking about a actual replacement carbon UIM not a cover. But if a cover like Supernaut said FEED makes it or EVO R.


Back on topic: I'm planning on producing a new hood style for the FD. Main purpose is for V-mount IC users. Currently doing research on this so more info to come but to give you guys a idea this is what i had in mind....

Surprised no one said this (unless I missed it)...

- Cargo Divider/Partion (vertical partition behind the seats)
- Rear strut tower covers
- Cargo area accessory access panels (covers only) - jack on RH, tools on LH
- Cargo cover; Non-Bose (would need to be flat black to alleviate reflection)
- Under dash kick panels (screwed to the center column assembly on each side)
- Sunroof interior

A combination of some or all of the above interior pieces, in conjunction with some of the major stuff you are already producing out there (a/c panel, cluster, center console, etc..) could produce a variety of different looks and fill a wide spectrum of taste on this forum.

P.S. On a slightly different note, I always thought brushed aluminum (i.e. efini door sill covers) looked good in the FD, is this something you think you could do? Clearcoated? Curious...

I plan to purchase a FD in 1-2 months so all the parts you listed and more is possible. Also i don't work with aluminum.

I'm looking for OEM side skirts and OEM front/rear mud guards/flaps. These will be replicated and will not need a GB to start. Once the mold are done and parts are test fitted it will be ready to sell.


PM me for more details if anyone is interested in loaning these.(hard to find these forsale)

Thats it, but without the holes for what I would imagine is the bose system? My car is a base model so I don't know what goes through them.

The holes are for the bose subwoofers. Maybe you could offer one of each? Although, I'd be down without holes.

Ok, how about a map pocket lid for the driver's door panel? Those things ALWAYS break.

Mold for the divider is almost done expect to have the 1st part in 1-2 weeks.

Also i was thinking of doing most of the interior in CF(1/4 panels,headliner, pillar, door sills etc...), so you could mix and match. Good idea?

I have RHD door panels on the way still looking for LHD ones whether some one loans them or if i have to buy them.

Cool Needed FD Carbon Fiber Parts

Let's just start with two.

1) At the base of the Front Windshield the is plastic cowl that goes over the vents. Now that needs to be made in Carbon I don't believe it will too difficult to make as the Corvette Guys have a couple of vendors doing. It should sell well and no one has even attempted it on an FD.

2) This will that some real efford but can be done. We need the bins behind the front seats made in Carbon Fiber. I know this won't be cheap but it would be a great edition to any FD.

1) I'll look in to it more but it's possible.

2) Most likely not but we'll see.

So is a map pocket lid included in the door plastics? I would assume so but I wanted to check to make sure.

I got a project for you for 2011-2012 Make a replica of the Re-Amemiya GT300 WB kit Id buy it in a heart beat Need it for my race car project that starts this spring

I know it wont be the biggest hit out there, but if it was offerd i bet there would be a demand for it world wide. As of now no one offers it, not even Re-A or Revolution that has made there own version of it. It's the ultimate wide body kit for a FD

That would be pretty sweet if you were working on a project track car. For the street it looks like overkill imo.
