    Carbon fiber opportunity

    Well im working with a guy that has a business with his buddy making carbon fiber interiors for Honda's and all the ricers and he said that if i have any parts i want done talk to him. So i'm thinking if we figure out what we want most i can get him to make it then get some production going. Let me know what you would like to see. It would be super easy to take original parts and remake them in carbon fiber because then he can just make a mold.

    Just let me know what you think would really make a great addition to being available for our cars.

    - Engine cover (M111)

    - Airbox cover/heatshield

    - M111 crossover pipe

    I think those things would sell well.

    exterior door pillars would be nice , maybe a wing for the window in the rear...it would be cool if he can make a mold for the radio area allowing a double din radio so all we would have to do is transfer our round dials , buttons, etc...

    door pillars (the ones on my C36 could possibly be replaced) and a rear roof wing would be dope. also maybe a M3 type lip spoiler for the trunk or a splitter for under the front bumper....

    PS, i'm in Kirkland. i didn't know there were so many members on this board from the area.....

    ^^ I still have his shifter. Forgot to send it out. OOOPS.

    Anyways, Have your guy make the B-pillars. It should be real easy to make replacements instead of covers.
